Driftwood Walking Stick

While on a pseudo vacation in Maui, I found a 15 feet long piece of driftwood. This was prior to me carrying a Leatherman, so trying to size down this massive piece of beach detritus was an undertaking. So I did what any smart man would do. I tried to cut through it with a Spyderco pocket knife-( yes this was way before 9/11 when you could carry a knife on a plane) I snapped the tip of the blade off of it in the first 30 seconds of attempting,..

so,. .

undaunted, . .

I backed the car over a portion of it and hulked up on it and snapped that bitch like it ain't no thing!!
*It actually was quite a pain in the ass!*
But I got it done! Like a fuckin' boss!
Once I got back to the hotel I borrowed-(had brought up) a hand saw from the concierge desk! and sized it down properly
Flash forward to when I got home. For symbolic reasons i used the Spyerco (with the broken tip) to free-hand carve the designs. And I added some leather cording for effect
