THE PERFECT STICK!!!





NO, SERIOUSLY....I was walking along the HUDSON last week, and just happened to look down...and their she was....something about the form I guess...and it is as light as a feather like a bird's bone.....You just have to come over and check for yo'self....









I walked home with it...and was talking to my brother on my cell and accidentally snapped it in two as I was putting the key in my front door!!! So I painstakingly glued it together....like triage...I noticed that the tinniest bit of bark was missing so I went out into the hallway and found it!!!









I guess sculpture, or 3-d art has been in my bones since I was a kid....I used to take shoelaces and start tying knots in them over and over until it was one big knot-ball, just to see if I could get a cool shape outta it...see?








So, I have a cool idea for this stick, but I am unsure if I want to do anything to it.....It's so beautiful just the way it is.....(?)......

Johnny--that is a really nice stick!

If you EVER get your skinny white ass up here, I'll take you out on the Tanana River----oodles of beautiful driftwood.

It looks like something you'd beat a depression-era short-panted boy with.
