A friend called the other day wanting to know if I had any reject sticks .She wanted a stick to give for her friends 60th birthday. I do not have much right now so told her I would try to make a quick/simple walking stick . Luckily the stick I had worked up pretty quick and wasn't too hard to carve on. (Whew) . She seemed pretty pleased with it when she picked it up. I hope her friend likes it as well.
