Couple of sticks

I asked on the forum for some coronets the other week.

Huntersforge kindly let me pick some from his bits.

Done these so far, click to enlarge

Lovely work, the bark on the left one is spectacular, nicely finished too. You done much before?

Thumbsticks mainly but i've done a buffalo horn crook in the past.

Very tidy there Tam

I didn't know you made these; do you want us to keep our eyes open for good things that might suit ?

I've got buffalo horn somewhere and there's usually antler about. I've got some totally weird 'tree warts' too. Mind the things that George up at Comriecroft was carving ? They're roundish or egg shaped burrs, and they'd make great knob ended ones.

The sticks look very fine............you just can't beat an honest, well-made simple stick made with good materials - and they're the hardest to do..........both of those look great!
