Description
Product Serial Number: #0001
This stick is under construction with an expected completion date in late July 2022.
As work is accomplished I’ll update the photo, leaving the old to show the history.
All woods except the hickory and maple core are spalted — which means the wood has been partly digested by fungi, removing mass and strength but leaving pretty lines and colors.
The stabilizing process removes moisture and air from the wood and fills the pores with resin. Heated, the resin cures the spongy, punky wood into blocks that are stronger than the wood was when green.
This stick is ash dyed purple. It has knots all through it that appear to be eyes looking at you, several different ways you hold the stick. The color contrasts from white to purple to blue. There’s a worm tunnel and part of a worm preserved in the butt.Â
