Hi Stickmaker

Hope you don't mind but I just re-aranged
your photos, because you forgot to add them corectly
into text think it's looks more clear now

The stick looks great photos show the whole process,
which I find very interesting Think you've done
a geat work
Did you make that as a present for somebody?

[Stickmaker]

Hi Deco, Thanks very much for the alterations . Should i have done the writing and then a photo and repeated the process in order to achieve the same result as youve got ? It's much better like this . I forgot to say that the brass butt plate was also made. thanks for the comments , did i make the stick as a present for somebody ? ---- yes its a birthday present . Regards Stickmaker
