OAK WALKING STICK - carving a Celtic Weave
Vložit

- Welcome back! Here is an Oak Walking Stick with a Celtic weave pattern. The oak was more difficult to carve due to it being a hard wood and it chipped a bit more but with some patience and careful planning, the carving came out looking great. The stick was stained dark with an oil based stain and finished with a paste wax. I really enjoyed this carving, never carved oak before but it came out looking fantastic, sharp lines and the grain pattern stands out with the stain. Overall a great walking stick. Let me know what you think by leaving comments below.

Jason: I love and appreciate your videos. Can't thank you enough for showing the process by which you lay out your work. Very educational. You make it look easier than it is !
you are very welcome... most of the time it is easy, its just putting in the 20-30 hours to complete it that most have problems with. But I'm happy to help any way I can
Beautifully carved. And that stain just melts it all together. Beautiful beautiful work 🙏
Thank you!!!
WOW.........beautiful oak walking stick...........I love this.......
Thank you!
Watched through a few of your vids from earlier and then more recent. Your work is amazing and juts gets better. I can't wait to start carving myself. Blessings to you 🙏
Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying the builds!
That's incredible! ❤
I was never really sure how Oak would be, but it looks like you Nailed It! 🔨
thank you! Yes, always been hesitant of oak due to the chip outs but it was ok, and the end results impressed me. Made a very strong stick that looks good.
@Jason Hedrich I was impressed for sure. It gives me hope😊
I'll have to try it myself 🤞
@@christinakindler9112 you should try it, and let me know how it goes!
Nice workmanship, I wish I had the patience to and skill to do that kind of work.
Thanks! I like it better than watching tv… glad you liked the video!
Another stunning staff 👍🏴
Thanks for the support!
Stunning work again Mr Hedrich. My last project was a Gaffi stick, so only carving for the top. My next project is a cane for my Mum and I am going to borrow your beautiful basket weave technique. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds like a great project! I’m sure it will look stunning. I’m happy that the design inspires you. Let me know how it turns out
Amazing work! Came out beautiful
Thank you!
Good work. Real badass
Thank you!
Found your channel by chance, love watching your process and what comes of it! I walk a lot in the fells so I have been given a cherry stave to make one, still struggling with a design but your great inspiration!
Glad you found my videos. Cherry carves beautifully and finishes nicely... you are lucky to have it. Hope you can find your design and make a great walking stick out of it! Very exciting. Thanks for watching
Just discovered your channel. Always looking for new ideas. My specialty is walking sticks. Love your work.
thank you very much! Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support
Super Job!
Thank you!
Thank you. Great channel.
Thanks for your support!!
Looking good Jason.
Thank you Ken!
Exceptional
Thank you Rolando, yours will be similar but more to your specifications!, glad you liked it
Podoba mi się bardzo twoja praca. Od dzisiaj , czyli od 25.04.2022 roku będę cię naśladował.Pozdrawiam z Katowic.
Dziękuję bardzo! Dzięki za oglądanie
I very much like your walking stick. The ornamentation is phenomenal. Still, I miss one feature. I don't know the proper English word, but look at the ring grooves on both side of the handle. Norwegian walking sticks tend to have two similar rings with a distance of a coupple of inches at the bottom. We're using this to attach tools to the stick. This could be a sport saw, a crooked little branch or a knife, to cut down/weigh down items from a tree
Interesting, I've never heard of it... I'll look into it! Thanks
Presido bastón un gran trabajo amigo un saludo
gracias
Nice video. Im a new sub also from montreal. My thing is carving fishing lures but lately I have been wanting to try new stuff
Nice to hear from others from Montreal! Glad you liked the video!
Wow.
Thank you
Great video, at the 4:40 timeline you are marking the centerline in a dimension you did not talk about, how did you arrive at the interval?
Thanks for watching... I just marked them at 1" intervals... a completely variable amount but this allowed the pattern to be more or less square. But you can vary this value and either stretch out the "diamond" pattern along the length or shorten it by decreasing this spacing.
Beautiful design! I have a couple pieces of oak from a neighbours tree. Do you have a video on how to create the basket weave. Thanks for sharing. I apolgise ... just noticed your basket weave video.
good luck with you carving! let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you very much! Happy to hear that you enjoy the builds!
nice
Thanks
Jason: Have. You ever incorporated fractal burning into your walking/hiking staffs ?
No, I never have... I've seen it but its a little too random in the pattern for my liking. I love symmetry and patterns!
Howdy howdy! In the video, at the 1:52 mark, I see three large diameter sticks that are a wee bit crooked. I have such a stick and trying to figure out how to get from said bent stick to the nice straight stick you are working with. (My stick is a fallen oak branch that was roitting on the outside, but I cleaned it up and have about a 2+ inch oak stick with lovely grain, but to bent to work on easily, Seems like the ones you have in back. What do you do with those? Will subscribe and pray for another video!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I usually try and work with the bends, try to carve a wood spirit face into the curve or bend. Or try and use the bend to form the handle section. If the diameter is large enough, then you can carve the stick straight while getting down to the final size. But don’t be turned off by the bent sticks, it’s more natural and they turn into something different and beautiful.
beautiful work, how many hours did this take and what did you charge for this beautiful stick?
Thanks, it takes about 30 hours to complete. Price varies depending on what is to be carved and out of what type of wood. Please write to me at jhedrich73@gmail.com and we can discuss price
Where do you source your wood? Do you find it and shape it with a draw knife or do you buy the blanks? I am just getting into walking stick carving and am not sure if I should be looking for small straight sapplings or 30 ft. trees with sizeable trunks that I shape down. Part of the fun for me is the hike for the tree that calls to me. Thanks!
I usually find downed branches in the woods, I don’t like to cut live trees for my sticks. For this Celtic weave stick I laminated two 1x2” oak boards together and shaped them down. Hope that helps.
@@JasonHedrichI agree, I don't like cutting down live trees either. Thanks for this!
@@MrDaoJones your welcome
Ya hice el mío esta como chile chueco no lo adorne tanto nada más bien lijado
As long as you put it to good use, then it has served it's purpose. Thanks
do you have a website. im currently disabled from an injury and surgery can't walk and do the things I love anymore but im bound and determined to walk again and be able to go hiking and exploring one day soon. I want to get a very special walking stick made In a viking norse theme as motivation to get me back on my feet.
I dont have a website, my CZcams channel shows all my builds. Please take a look at the videos and you can reach me at jhedrich73@gmail.com for more information. Thanks.
How did you draw additional lines trying to duplicate no success thank you
Not sure which lines your are asking about... The main diagonal lines are done with the grid pattern. Then I measured out either 1/4" or 1/2" from the centre lines. The thickness of the weave can be adjusted to your taste
@@JasonHedrich thank you for your reply
How much would one like this coat? Phil S. 🎉
Please write to me at jhedrich73@gmail.com and we can discuss it
I never understood why they call it a rubber foot , when it’s obviously a shoe or boot
Good point… not sure I can change the name :) so I’ll keep calling it a rubber foot. But I do agree with you!
Hallo Jason wat een mooie stokken. Kan ik deze kopen? En wat is de price? Ik heb ook contact met je gezocht via Facebook.
