Very cool-looking! Perhaps not the most practical design for a walking stick…are you meant to interlace your fingers with the spines? LOL, I would definitely trip and impale myself. But super neat work!
Heh good point, not to make a pun - this stick is more like a walking staff, it’s about 5’ long. Meant to be held by the stick part, not at the top. Top is purely decorative.
