Hi Stickmaker - this is wonderful. I love the shape of the top part of it and the colour looks good too - it has a really nice sheen on it. I also like how you have done the 'length' of it too - with the shape of that - all in all I personally think it is one of the best you have done - although after saying that - I really like the ones with 'heads' on them too GREAT STUFF

Hi Stickmaker
I agree with Denise - it is one of the best sticks you have done.
Although I also liked a lot the other ones with different birds you made
but the shape of this one is really great and elegant, it's classic chic ,
excellent work
What horn and tree you've used for this one?

Hi All,

I'm impressed Stickmaker! Great job you've done here!

[Stickmaker]

Hi All , Thanks for your interest and comments , (has anyone seen my dog )Deco i believe the wood to be apple though i can't be certain as i've had this stick for some years and have only just used it, the horn is water buffallo it really does come up nice when it's polished . Seeing as no one has mentioned the dog on it do you think i should give him a bit of white fur to show him off . ( anyone seen my dog . Regards Stickmaker

Hi Stickmaker

I think the reason I didn't see the dog is because the photos
have been taken from such an angle and there isn't a close photo of this detail
You've done great job on this one really
I'm really impressed by the whole process of making a stick like this one,
seems it takes quite a lot of time and requires very good technical skills,
well done
The choice of the materials is excellent

[Stickmaker]

Hi Deco , Thanks for the comments . Coming soon one new stick . Regards Stickmaker

[housedoc]

Hia Stickmaker - sorry but I still can't see your dog? Perhaps take a photo of another angle? It is definitely hiding

Hey Neo - good to see you too on here - hope you are OK and not working too hard

Hey Denise,

I'm here all the time. I'm reading your posts guys but I just don't have any time to post - I've got
a lot of work to do.
Anyway I'm glad to see that all you have such a great progress and it's really a pleasure
for me to look at all your artworks.

Denise, I'm really really sorry about your broken leg. Hope you will get better soon.

Ah..... thanks Neo Although I know it's going to take about 6 weeks before I can get the bloody 'pot' off I'm hating it at the moment cos I can hardly do anything !!

Don't you go and work yourself into the ground will you?

Ken came home last night so we are going to see if we can get an electric chair - then there will be no stop in me Although Ken said he could plug it in!! hahaha!! That wasn't very nice was it?

[Stickmaker]

Hi All , Sorry to hear of your accident Denise, take it easy and perhaps when you feel able to we may just get to see some new painting from you . Ive done my very best to oblige the forum members . Here is a couple of picies of the elusive dog Regards Stickmaker

Thanks for these close-ups Stickmaker
now we can all see your dog in detail very good work,
well done
I'm wondering how you had the patience to make such a small
figurine, what material you used for if it's not a professional secret?

[housedoc]

Hey Stickmaker - the little dog is blooming wonderful - what a nice 'touch'. As Deco says you must have a lot of patience!!

Perhaps a new painting in a few weeks hey!! I keep getting 'bum ache' at the moment cos I'm sitting down too blooming long - so I need to get off it and get my 'bum' into gear sooner rather than later hey!!

[Stickmaker]

Hi All , Deco if you look at the 2nd piccie you will see that i allowed a piece on the side of the horn to enable the "dog" to be cut out;so the "dog" is actualy the same piece of horn which is buffallo . It is not another piece which is attached but all one piece of horn carved out . Denise, its a well known us men have to have a lot of patience never mind only about 5 weeks to go you should be fighting fit for Christmas . Neo , your wait is over im about to post Regards Stickmaker

[housedoc]

Ha ha Stickmaker - I suppose that is my 'consolation' prize

Amazing you did that dog out of one piece of buffalo! I think the wood is amazing and it looks absolutely brilliant

I always think it is the women who have more patience than the men, but perhaps I could be wrong in some instances hey
