If you’re wondering why there hasn’t been many entries of late (and why the site hasn’t shown much movement of late) it’s because I have found a new passion / hobby / future career path. The other day I was suffering pretty bad with my back so I decided that maybe the time was right to invest in a decent walking stick. Admittedly on most days it would be little more than an affectation, it is desperately needed on others. Anyway, after a decent hunt I found that really nice ones are very expensive, and the really cheap ones aren’t very nice. So, ever the inventor, I figured why not make my own. A rather sizeable financial investment later and I’m making sticks, really enjoying it and actually quite good at it. Got about three finished so far (one test run, a crimbo gift for Jim and a native American styled one) and will post photos as soon as.
