I thought I would finish out the year with a shot of one of my diamond willow walking sticks, Caduceus. I love working with diamond willow; its easy to carve and has a mix of beautiful grains. I usually give them away; I like carving as a hobby, not a money-making chore.

Also, I’d like to add this disclaimer concerning any and all resolutions I may foolishly spout circa New Year’s Eve:

The resolutions

I may make

Are unabashedly

All fake;

There’s not a chance

That they will take,

But what the heck–

They’re fun to break!

Happy New Year!!
