July 2007 Snake Cane

I Think it was July of 2006 that I made my first cane beginning this venture of creating art to be used everyday. This particular cane was made for a fellow programmer (retired) and to be given to a relative of his. It is carved from a poplar log, and finished with Shellac and wax. He did not want a cane that stood out so we muted the snake with no finish and I did not carve in the individual scales. This left the essence of what make a snake. Overall, I am very satisfied with the results. The pictures did not turn out too good, still learning...
