Stick 146: Sir

Stick 146: Sir

 


I started the auction on SIR while finishing it and uploading pics to the Character Cues facebook group. You can revisit that history and other sticks here.

This is a rare butt. I’ve only made 4 with any toadstool in them; this has the most. First time for joint protectors made from toadstool. It shrinks a lot when being dried and stabilized, and due to the growth patterns the pieces I stabilized were unable to provide any large parts. I have one more piece of toadstool and I have Amish friends sourcing more for me . I hope to get some this fall, but I’m also fine with gems being rare.

So the butt named Sir is a solid piece of hickory with slot rings and toadstool. Has a 2 ounce weight bolt in the butt that can be taken out and replaced with smaller increments, as well as an extension-accepting bumper (takes a 5/16-14 thread). Yes, I have another piece of toadstool that could form the basis of an extension. $450-$550 depending on length.

I mixed orange and copper mica with CA glue to fill the gaps that would otherwise all but disappear under a finish. The result is a glimmering world of tubules and geometric patterns that make one marvel at the Creator’s wild ass… creativity. I absolutely delight in seeing the care he put into a fungus because I’m waaaaaaaay cooler than a fungus. I rest knowing he puts that care into me too; up down big small he’s there. Sorry to get too God Freak Real with you, but sometimes you have to shout the truth. We live in a magnificently created universe.
