Here Robert examines the head
of a walking stick he's making out
of some very old and hard Oak
wood.
This is a very custom job as the
stick is cut to the exact length
specified by the client.
The area where he holds the
stick will be the balance point.
With little or no effort the
walking stick becomes a
formatible weapon.
The placement of the two upper
branches converts the walking
stick to a suppoet one may use to
lean on, should the need arise.

This is an interesting peice of
Pecan Wood it is as yet
unfinished but it's close. The hole
goes all the way through the
peice. The wood grain is in a
nearly circulat pattern as if the
top had been twisted adout 90
degrees. The peice needs more
sanding and a hand rubbed oil
finish.

Here's another interesting piece. One
branch has already been cut back and
sanded round. The grain has a slight
twist to it just below the cut and
sanded branch.
The final color of the wood will be
slightly darker because if the oil finish,
or ir requested it can be left unfinished.
These are all works on progress.

This is wood, not a rock, again
the item will be finished to order.
About the best I can say here is,
"It's a conversation piece."

This is the ever popular "Egg Shape"
complete with dark yoke.
These little beauties when sanded very
smooth and with a hand rubbed oil
finish make a striking addition to any
coffee table or can be carried about
like a pet rock.
The beauty of carrying this little pet is,
it's light weight and the more it's
handled the brighter the finish and the
smoother it gets. Buy two, so the one
can keep the other company

SUNSET AT ROBERT'S PLACE

Here Robert holds an interesting s walking stick The top end is rounded and there is a grip cut into
the top of the stick.
The rounded top fits neatly into the palm of the hand while the undercut allows for a firm grip and
good control.
The stick should be tapered a bit more and must yet be cut to the customers specified length.
The wood is Cedar and it has a red heart. The heart shows through at the head.
This ia all hand worked with only a minimum use of power tools

PICTURES TAKEN OF SOME OF ROBERT'S WORKS IN PROGRESS

The finished product. Robert did all the hard work and shaped this branch
while all I did was to put the finish on it. It's a beautiful piece of work and I'm
proud to carry it down the street with me.
