Gallery

Below are examples of my work.

This is NOT A SALES PAGE as most of these pieces have been sold. It is intended to indicate the type of stick and work I can produce. I can accept commissions to make an item that is based on the gallery but because of the nature of wood, antlers and horns I cannot make an exact replica – it will be similar but not identical.
