Re: New... sorta
Yes this is the top half of a piece of cedar I have been mullin gover for a long time. It sat outside for a long time before I touched it, and I wasn't sure if it'd be slavagable, but it seems okay and doesn't have any serious cracks to fill in. Cedar is messy! But it smells good! The wood itself is rather heavy, but as it is thick enough to allow for what I am doing, it is becoming lighter. I have a finished one that is oak, and really wasn't meant for me use wise, because it is mega heavy. I just make use of it at the Ren fair. It's sort of an advertisement, though I haven't got stock enough yet to consider a business on the side, much as I'd like that. I also have to consider my neighbors, who probably wouldn't like sawdust and noise all the time. I do have a friend who makes wooden bowls and the like, and he has tools at his place, but I can rarely get time to go over there. This so far is one dragon, and length wise there's probably room for three down it, though I dunno if I am mad enough to do that. I wonder if it would take away from the top half. Still working thorugh the whole thought process on it.

This is a not so great photo of a finished one, afore mentioned oak. I have determined that either my camera batteries are going dead ( and these were the good ones!) or my camera sucks.

Re: New... sorta
Wouldn't you have to have special bits for carving something like ivory?

Re: New... sorta
These are gorgeous, sutistoy!! I have so much room here that woodworking wouldn't be a huge issue if I only had the talent to actually do something like this. I love walking staffs, and currently own 3 made by others and one I kind of did myself on a camping trip. It's nothing special....just some ancient lettering that you can't even see and to give it a good shine, all I had was cooking oil, so it got rubbed good with Wesson and left to 'cure'.
2 of the ones I have, my step-father made...one for me and one for my DH. The other, I purchased at a Ren Faire here in town a couple of summers ago. The ones my step-father did are from small wild cherry trees, the one I bought is made from a good solid piece of smoke vine (the kind that spirals).
I can't wait to see the finished project of the one in cedar that you're working on now. Very impressive!!
--- Blessed Be,
