Walking Sticks























I've carved more than a thousand walking sticks.  I use young, green aspen from Colorado.  Aspen is a sturdy but very lightweight wood.  The length can be customized for your height, and I use the thinner sticks for women's orders.  Every one is unique, according to what I see in the wood on any given day.

Cowboys & Characters

I love to carve cowboys and other characters in different scenes.  I've made everything from a pair of square dancers to baseball players.

Wildlife & Animals

I've carved dozens of bobwhite quails over the years.  I also make hummingbirds, ducks, horses, dogs and other animals.  Some are stand-alone, and some include flowers and a few blades of grass.
