    Re: last minute info needed??

    This is from an old trip report about my friend Markie, but there are some photos of a walking stick he made from iron wood. It was about $100 maybe a bit more but is beautiful. I had it wrapped at the airport to take on the plane. There were some issues at US customs, but not with the walking stick, but with another carving that wasn't stained. Iron wood is very dark in color and the customs guy thought it has a finish on it, but it really didn't. If I had it to do over again, I would have one with a normal handle. The way it was made is not good for walking, but it sure is a showpiece.
