Here you go Jim.
Have since made a bunch of oak a black cherry
A bunch of canes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally resolved some camera/computer/ photobucket issues.
Here are a few I have made recently. Forgive tha lack of photo skills they are gorgeous in peron if I do say so myself.
From left to right.
1 A beautiful maroon, twisted, piece given to me by my sil. I believe it is gum wood I just carved the head to be comfortable, cut to fit me, and polyed it.
2 A solid piece of black cherry. Sanded lightly with 000 steelwool, fitted a right angle handle, and polyed.
3 A Knobby piece of oak that took forever to debark and sand. Ball handle is fitted with a long screw that I cut the head off after it is in the shaft and afix the ball. (My favorite)
4 Another oak piece with an egg handle. 3/4 in hole in egg makes the shaft flush with the top an it is epoxyed and pined
5 An oak that failed the whack test and ened up in th fireplace
6 A sturdy pice of oak I cut somewhat square on my table saw. Ball is fitted by using a 3/4 paddle bit to drill into the ball and shaft is glued/epoxcy on to ball.
7 Just a piece of maple sanded and polyed. Doesnt get much use out side the house
8 My wifes dogwood stick with ball drilled and epoxyed witha horozontal pinshe uses when out in the woods with the dogs. It is nochted cut top to bottom.
9 Another oak, unfinished in this pic but since stained red oak and polyed, About an inch around and fast becoming my favorite Drilled ball and fitted and expoxied to shaft.
