Woodworking

I like working with wood. Turns out it has a soothing effect on me. Found a large tree branch from a Hawaiian nut bearing tree and was going to make runes from it, but after whittling away the bark and revealing the beautiful blue patterns under it, I now can't bring myself to cut it up for runes.

Friend asked if I was making a wand and I told him the thought had crossed my mind, then confessed I almost didn't want to cut it up at all. Apperently he had the same idea. For some reason I get the sensation my mini staff reminded him of a friend of his.

This rune project of mine may well have turned into a mini staff project instead. Maybe I'll find a stone to put on it and carve runes into it instead, and find another piece of wood to create runes from. Maybe a smaller piece from the same tree will serve better. This one seems to have given me other plans.

I kinda want to get my hands on some rainbow Ecualptus tree branch, as well as some more of the Kukui nut tree. Making runes and wands out of the branches and even staffs is another excellent avenue to explore. Esp since it really didn't take me too long to do and its something I enjoy. Almost a way to mediate. I do however, need to learn to sharpen my knife if I start this up. Branches are free to pick up.
