I started this one out with a piece of sycamore.



Then, well, I made some progress.



Then I made a little more progress.



Then a little more, a third face on the back side of the stick.  I haven't figured out what he will be, but I am thinking maybe a mountain man.



Front side.  In the top wil be a ball that will rattle around some while the person is walking, in case he is hiking in bear country.

What do you guys think? It still needs handle scales but I've got some osage off-cuts that I could cut up for that.

If you never have time to do it right, you'll always have time to do it over.

Depends on what you want for them. I don't have a lot to trade. What I really need are some brass pins to attach them with.
