Sadly not at the moment, all my sticks have been sold this year.

I may have some prints will ave to look them up and scan them in.

My favourite is carving the heads or using old door knobs or other bits and pieces for handles.

These were made in 2002.

They look lovely. Does anyone know what happened to Kenkew? He hasn't been around for ages.

Thanks Ben - they're lovely.

Those sticks are great. I love the fox. My Dad had a stick that had a snake carved all the way up, I wonder what happened to it.
