I have been given a rather beautiful piece of Macassar Ebony by a friend, on the proviso I made him a stick. I told him I couldn't make a stick out of the Ebony, I lied, I am making him a thumbstick. I have never made one before, so I came up with a rough design idea and just felt what the wood would let me do.
From plank, through rough shaping to after obsessive hand sanding. Now 'all' I have to do is de-bark, straighten and sand the Holly, fit the two together and apply multiple coats of finish.
If Sauron had a stick, it would look like this!
