Hey Pattree, I've been making mine for >20 years now. The wife still has the first one I made. Right now I have a few, but the one I keep in the car is a Moses stick with a snake head and a fully carved shaft. It's made from a piece of spruce driftwood from the Bay of Fundy, where we have the world's highest tides. It has a split right up the whole shaft but I'd trust it to get me up the Matterhorn. I'll get some pics into my Proton Drive as I get settled in here.
