There was a post on here awhile back about not being enough pics of projets posted.
So I figured I post some pics of one of my latest hobbies.
I take branches from trees and make canes and walking sticks out of them. It is very enjoyable and relaxing.
So far, I havent found anything that turns out as good as beech when just done naturally. Unfortunatally I dont have any pics of the beech.
So without further ado, in the first two pics, from top to bottom, we have a European Alder with just polyurethane, next is ASH that was flamed and then coated, after that we have a mulburry with a little stain and then coating, last is a walnut with a little stain and coating. So far, everything I have tried with the exception of beech, just looks like white-wood pine once the bark is off. So I had to do something to give them a little character.
The next two pics are a peice of white oak that was oilsoaked and then coated. Last two are loctus that was flamed and then coated.
Camera phone pics just dont do them justice but it is the best I got.
