Walking Stick with leather wrap and pyrography

- A simple walking stick with a lot going on! We have epoxy inlay, a little carving, a leather wrap handle and some wood burning or pyrography. Quite a bit of work going into a simpler looking stick but I will show you the step by step process to finish all the details. Some tung and teak oil to finish the outside and a rubber tip for a non-slip grip at the base. Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you like what you see.

This is beautiful! I love everything about your choices, from the blue color to the top of the stick, leather and simple saying which is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your process which was so easy to follow & pleasant to view. & the end result was lovely.
That’s great to hear! Happy you enjoyed the video… thanks for watching and taking the time to write
That is absolutely beautiful!!! Wow!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your support
My wife and I just started making our first walking sticks this past week, teak oil is on now! Thank you for these videos!
Sounds great, hope your sticks get lots of use! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
Digging your videos. I've been searching for a way to resin a ring design into my walking stick and this video answered my question. Thank you and I enjoy watching all your videos.
Glad I could help! Happy to hear that you are enjoying the builds, thanks for watching
Nice job, Jason. You give me ideas. I might suggest that after wrapping the spaces with packing tape, you might have used a 12 cc syringe to inject the resin through the tape.
Great idea, probably would have been quicker to fill the spaces… and less messy
That’s beautiful. Great job!
Thank you!
Let me know what you think... did you like the leather wrap compared to the paracord wraps on previous sticks? What did you think about the wood burning on the side... always like to hear what you are thinking.
Like the leather wrap, so much more appropriate compared to paracord. If I dare, try to do it myself on my DIY walking stick I’ve found over 30 years ago in a wood and used and maintained since. By the way, is there any way to determinate which wood it’s made of? The stick has been sanded, restored, oiled en varnished many times since…. Just curious.
A variety of techniques and tools makes it fun. I like the leather wrap. I'm not sure how it will hold up over the years, but it is a learning opportunity. Nothing lasts forever, but that is part of the process.
@@charlesschauberger6700 exactly, I like to try something different in each stick… don’t want to keep making the same one over and over again
I love your videos. Thank you
you are very welcome!
Awesome video!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much
Digging the colored resin! Great video!
Thank you… it looks good when the sun hits it, glows nicely
really like the epoxy and wood look so far this is my favorite. Great job Jason.
thanks! it came out pretty good...
@@JasonHedrich it did really classy
Brilliant.
Thanks!
Looks pretty cool. I may have to try the epoxy thing. I make sticks, boxes and assorted items to sell at folk art festivals.
Awesome! Please give it a try and let me know how it goes!
Love the video, I'm working on a walking stick for a Friend, it has some really deep checks, so I have used resin and variegated the colors, as they spiral down around the piece. It's Peach wood from a tree in my yard, it's been drying over a year. Nice light weight but a really hard wood. I have inset an arrowhead and making an inset leather wrap for the handle. Your video has some great information and has shown me a lot of great information. ❤
That sounds like a great looking walking stick! Fruit wood has some amazing grain, I bet its coming out fantastic. Your friend will be very lucky to receive it. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for writing.
brillante hermoso
Thank you!
You should have used the dremel and put your circles on the stick. would have made a perfect one.
Hey Jason........Can I use your saying, "Sky above, Earth Below, Peace within" for one of my sticks? Also this stick could have used some more work on it. Like your basket weave.....would have been great........Wish I had your table.
Absolutely you can use it on your sticks, I heard it somewhere myself, some saying about hiking and nature. I tried to keep the stick simpler and let the pyrography stand out but I can see your point about more details. Yes, I built that workbench and its nice to have a large worksurface to lay out all the tools while working. Thanks for watching the video!
What type of resin did you use? Deep pour or regular?
Just a regular 2 part epoxy. It dries in about a day
After I strip the bark from the stick, I have had a lot of the sticks crack, or split , while waiting to be worked on. Any ideas
It sounds like they are drying out too quickly. I usually leave the bark on, which slows the drying process and make sure I store them in a cool area out of the sun (my garage or basement). This does take longer to dry (up to a year) but minimizes the checks or cracks from forming. I use a lot of dead sticks I find in the woods and I like some of those defects, I just fill them with epoxy and gives it some added character. Hope that helps
@@JasonHedrich thank you
