Hi all

Im planning on carving a green man motif onto a staff. Does anyone have any plans or advice or anyone done this type of carving before?

I have carved some woodspirits on some of my sticks. They are enjoyable things to carve. And they are good company when your mates won't go walkies with you. They are always ready, don't argue with you, don't consume your food/booze, and they always go where you want to go!! Best hicking companions, they are...

There's a link to carving a simple woodspirit on a stick. It a short youtube video, but it gives you all the basics to have a go yourself.
