G'day from the Barossa Valley
G'day all, my name is David & I live in Williamstown on the edge of the Barossa Valley.
My brother started making walking sticks while on his gold hunting trips & I started making what I call hiking sticks after reading an article on the web about the diamond willow.
We recently had a holiday in Canada & America where we stayed with some American friends & he is a woodcarver & tried to teach me how to carve a face on a stick.
I haven't progressed very far with the carving due to our cold winter & don't think I will do much carving but it has got me reading up on carving a lot & may try some simple walking stick handles when we are into daylight saving & the weather warms up so I can stay out in the shed a bit longer.
Regards Dave

Hi Dave and welcome to the forum. I have been to Williamstown many many years ago just for a short stay but it was nice as I remember.

Hi Dave, welcome.
Must be quite an experience travelling through Canada and the US, and meet some friends. It's high on my wish list to bring a visit to the US.
