I have begun

After supper my husband helped me with walking stick. He showed me how to saw to make it the right length, how to scrape to remove the bark and gave me some 36 grit sandpaper to begin the finishing process.
As I was scraping the north wind began to blow.


A summer storm was coming in. I enjoy the north wind in July. The cool wind refreshes me. I sat on the deck and sanded as I watched the clouds come over.
Walking stick is a most enjoyable creation.



I shall continue to work on my walking stick. I have plans on learning how to carve. I want to do some inlaid stones. I will need a "head" for the handle. I will work on it.
