The wife's woodwork

The missus decided to make me a hiking stick. The oak staff came from a tree that she & her father planted from an acorn. Here's the result... I'm pretty happy with it!

Very nice, did you harvest the deer hoof ?

**SnakeEyes** · 16th May 07, 07:53 PM

Excellent! Very sentimental, what with the wood and all, and the deerfoot makes it very..."Fantastical". Like something out of a movie. Pass it on to the missus that I say "Nice Work!!!"

how did she join the deer foot to the wood? that is really a slick job!

We didn't harvest the foot, it came from a local deer farm. As far as I remember, she skinned the foot back a few inches, drilled out the oak, & epoxied the bone into the hole.
