    2 new "sticks" from kc

    I just got 2 new "sticks from KC
    The 1st is a "walking staff" The carving is not only GREAT, but he really did a fantastc job with the "secondary Bark" ( it is 59 1/2" tall )



    This next one, IMHO, is a WINNER. He called it a "TWISTED PUB STICK"
    This "puppy" is MAN SIZE" 40" tall & the "twists are appox 10" around & the bottom diam. is 1 1/4"
    This "stick" will not only support this "old man", as he is "pub crawling" BUT it will be a GREAT "URBAN" stick ( PEDITORS BEWARE )

    The twisted one is way cool ! His carving just keeps getting better all the time (as it should be).

    Wow, they look great! Have you got some french ancestry? (in the first picture, is that the french tricolour with the photo reversed?)

    Both are very beautiful, Puffer. I'm partial to the first.

    The Twisted Pub Stick is a wonder to behold. I am quite jealous. Both are beautiful, beautiful sticks. Enjoy!

    Very impressive pieces Puffer! It's almost hard to call them "sticks".
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    They do look great! But one who eats children would be a pedivore. Peditor is a professional child,maybe?
