Golden Eagle
Completed this golden eagle topper for a walking stick today, it is carved in Basswood. You would think it would be easy to find a stick to put it on. But I am out of straight sticks that have had 8 months to a year to cure. I do have some drying but they have only been drying about 4 months. And thanks to tropical storm Gordon I picked up 10 new ones in the neighborhood. This last week that will be ready to use in May or June of 19. I will have to go shopping. I like the free ones best.
