I Made a Shillelagh Walking Stick out of Honeysuckle

In this video, I will show you how I made this Shillelagh Walking Stick out of a Honeysuckle bush. It is based on the Irish Blackthorn Shillelagh Walking Stick. I hope you like it!

I like that stick, the epoxy almost looks like a jewel.

Very nice, Dennis! Love how that turned out. I like the idea with the popsicle sticks and glad to hear your wife is doing well.

Try cutting a diamond shape where you need to fill and maybe use red or green color. It should look nice.

That looks like the head of a snake. Reminds me of the staff Moses had. Beautiful.

I had no clue that honeysuckle got that big. It must have been a very old vine.

[thecuzzin]

Great video! What was the last finishing product that was used?

[vendettarules]

Do you have a link for that sanding hood thingy?

[vernonabernethy]

That’s really large honey suckle. We have lots of that vine growing here where I live in NC; however, it never gets large enough to carve into a cane. Where are you located? I like to make unique canes also.
