The Native Iowan

Sunday here down-under. Very pleasant morning. Betsy and G.G. and Nova spent the night. we’ll head outside to raise hell on wheelz and bbq soon.

Spent the past week shape shifting an old, hard, dense piece of wood… started with this:

An old fence rail dug out of the mud n muck after the recent floods. An ancient piece of wood, trimmed and shaped ages, decades ago by unknown hands.

We rather quickly end up with something recognisable as a walking stick…

Finished product… Im pretty happy with the outcome.

This past week we were doing some more digging and came across a couple pieces of old wood. These are roots from an ancient tree, long gone and sunk and decayed. These will be cool to shape and change and see what is inside…

And finally, a word from our sponsor…
