Custom Walking Stick
My father just got home today and brought back something he had custom made for his father. It's a walking stick that chronicles his time in the Navy, all hand carved and includes representations of both carriers and all 4 destroyers my grandfather served on. It really is quite the craftsmanship. I'm attaching pictures for everyone to check out.

That's amazing. Is that the destroyers I see carved into it?

It certainly is. The first picture has the destroyers while the fourth has the aircraft carriers.

SoccerMark, what kind of wood is that walking stick made out of?

Correct that, I was just informed the type of wood is Swamp Ash. Last edited by soccermark23; 10-15-2008 at 04:44 PM.
