Raven Walkingstick

The Raven Head walking stick is one of my most favorite ones, of those I've made. Not that tall, just a little longer then cane length; the decoration is rather simple for my work, just a Celtic tree of life, with knot work roots, out of the top is a big old crow/raven head.

I think, I made this walking stick about two and half years ago; and by 'made' I mean finished it, because was working on it for several years, I think...

Anyway it was always getting knocked over, and part of the lower beak kept getting broke off, I'd glued it back on a couple times; the last time that happened, the piece of beak got lost before I could get it glued back on.

So I've had cut what was left of the old beck.


And I've whittled a new lower beak for it.


Then I used monkey glue(Gorilla Glue) to attached the new beak, but as usually I forgot about much it expands as it cures. So my crow is foaming at the mouth, and I have cut and scape the glue off and then re stain and seal the stick...
