I love the walking sticks. I am lucky enough to have my great grandfathers walking stick he whittled/carved during WW1 at galipoli.
It is not the neatest looking stick but it is somewhat a family heirloom as you would imagine.

Hi dave
Also interested in your sticks.Nice site and good carving.
Would you explain what "cane Segments" are and how you use them.
Welcome
Terry

cane segments are 3 inches tall (sorry don't know metrics) and 2 inches square to start with, with a 5/8 hole thru the center the long way. You sign up for a swap and carve 8 segments, then each month or so (or sooner if the carvers are ready) you swap a segment with another carver....you end up with 7 segments by other carvers and one of your own...two swaps or 16 segments plus a top and bottom piece make a respectable walkingstick....for show really not for use, but they are attention getters and fun to participate in. A friend saw one of the ones I had completed and got all excited about my "folk art" guess they are or will be one day! We also do a "round robin", one segment, you carve one corner and send it off to the next guy on the list, he carves a corner and passes it on etc...each one does that and when the segment you started gets back to you, its done and you keep it....thats fun to...and a challenge, you only have a small corner to carve on. sorry its so long winded, kind of hard to explain the process with out lots of words lol...

cane segment swap
Sorry I left off the address for the cane segment swap if anyone is interested....
http://carverscompanion.com/ go the the W3E swap block and look in there, lots of different kinds of swap.....great site, Matt Kelly runs it and does a lot of work to keep it going......the one most of us click on is the "secret pal" swap, you get a carving from someone, and have no idea who until you get it...I have participated in 14 I think so far...and have a great little collection of some neat carvings.....anyway, there it is if you are interested. Dave
