You did a great job on your bark treehouse. you are the only one who can see what's in your mind as you work to get it out. I agree with you on your bark solution of simpler. They will love it.
yes you do. The top of the stick is a carved threaded needle.. and there are various quilt patterns on the stick. I made two plastic templates and drew the squares randomly on the stick. I then spent hours going through my quilt books - (something I will eventually do so.. had to have the books!) picking out patterns. I penciled them on then V tooled them off. I used paint pencils and colored pencils to fill in the patterns.. picking colors to use for the blocks was also a chore. A few quilter friends said they liked the choices and of course.. a mom will always say she likes it so, it was nice to have other input. Did you chip carve your patterns into the columns or just outline them?
I have only carved one walking stick - The wood was Oak ( a branch from a tree in our back yard)
Do I recognize quilting patterns on the walking stick? My wife is a quilter so when we redid the basement of our house I carved quilt patterns into a couple of the stair columns...it was a fun project.
