today a made myself a new walking stick which doubles up as a rest for my longbow when I am at the archery range. Its basically a nice straight stick but I stuck a piece of antler on one end and drilled out the bottom to accept a hammer in nut which will project the bottom of the stick when I am using it for a walking stick. I have a piece of threaded bar which fits into the nut. I can put a point on it with my angle grinder to stick in the ground and lean my bow up against.

It a piece of hazel which is a very pale wood, almost white. I gave it a coat of boiled linseed oil which will make it a bit more yellow in colour. I think I will sand the linseed oil off and apply a coat of stain to darken the wood. Its not good to be walking around at an archery range with a white stick ;)
