This is a walking stick I made from a former avocado tree that used to be in my back yard.
The artwork on the staff includes Celtic, Viking, and various European and Chinese themes.
Soundtrack: Hliods bid ek Allar by Sequentia (excerpt from Voluspa in the Poetic Edda)

Simply, WOW. Just gorgeous. thanks for showing it.

@RiCoHeTMcQuEeN I typically used X-Acto knives to mark the outlines of patterns. I then used various wood carving tools to do the majority of the carving. I have several tool sets of different sizes. For this project I mostly used small [3 - 5mm] chisels (flat and skew) and u-gouges.

I carve runes into my staffs using Elder Futhark, but yours look different. Do you use the Anglo- Saxon runes?

@imkey223 I carved this from this from an avocado tree in my back yard that died. I have no current plans to make a how-to video. But if you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
The best advice I can give to anyone who wants to take up wood carving is: keep your tools sharp and never rush your work. :-)

@OdinsOrb thanks dude i was also wondering how long it took to make that?
imkey223 10 months ago
@imkey223 From the time I started until the time I finished was about 3 years. I didn't work on it consistently during that time. Sometimes I would go several months without working on it at all. I didn't keep track of how much time I spent. I'm sure it was a few hundred hours (easily). I learned a lot from the experience and could definitely do it a lot faster now.
