Description I'm currently in the middle of making some shaman sticks and staves and want to see how many people might be into that sort of thing. These would be great for cosplay or just decorating your "inner sanctum".

I predominantly use imitation materials such as faux fur, faux suede, plastic/resin claws, although I do have a few genuine fur products (the animals died of natural causes). All my feathers are from craft stores - clean, hand dyed etc. The wood is hand selected from fallen branches, then sanded and varnished.

This particular piece is my first one. It's shown here almost complete - just needs a few more finishing accents.

That one is already sold. I ended up removing the faux fur and putting some raccoon fur on it.

The Small preview from my dev watch made me think you had photographed some sickly skinny person!

It's cool how you sand the wood yourself.

Lol! Yeah, it takes a while to sand it nice.

It would be more authentic using real fur, bone and claw materials. You've got a nice looking concept, but for it to be used in any native american rituals it would have to be real fur.

I have a bazillion scraps if you're interested.

Sure! At the moment I've only got a coyote tail, silver fox tail, and some raccoon tails. Maybe you could note me, rather than have this in the comments? XD

this is very nice considering you did it through the hard way, by not using cruel material!

I really like this wood-bone!
