mel b3 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 hiya guys, this is a hazel walking stick , that has been pyrographed by my good lady This stick has been decorated with Koi Carp, flowers and circles along its length using the art of pyrography. the stick is 43 3/4 inches tall. The diameter at the top is approximately 1.5 inches wide. The diameter at the bottom is approximately 1 inch wide. This stick was taken from our woodland in Wales. Please note these are not perfectly straight. The stick is pyrographed freehand so no other stick will ever be the same. They are finished with exterior varnish to protect them. this stick is a real eye catcher. also for sale elsewhere. £60.00 + £10.00 p+p. thanks for looking guys.

It took me ten years to learn how to send an email, and about three years to get my head around text messaging . For the first couple of years as a mobile phone owner , I still carried a book with my numbers in ,as I could never access the numbers in my phone 😆. This stick looks amazing in the flesh ,it's a real shame that our pics aren't as good 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your short of sticks you know where to come. I have some nice ash as well as nut. I don't know if you can get any info from Sweden but I have hunted there a number of times and used their version of composting toilets. One spot there was no door so you had a brilliant view down the wood and always had your rifle leaning in the cornerjust in case a buck walked bye.

mel b3 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 The style is , accidentally antique ish 😆. She has a million ideas in her head , but struggles to keep up with orders ,and get creative. These sticks are turning out to be very popular , and she gets quite a few commissions.
