Awesome piece of very strong ironwood 53¾" tall including the quartz crystal mounted in the top.  The crystal has a slight white phantom near the termination that actually came out quite well in the photo, and came from Mt. Ida, Arkansas.  The staff has been hand sanded and sealed with several layers of shellac, as well as shod with brass sheet.  Hanging from the handle is several wild turkey marabou feathers, an arrowhead, and several hand-painted wooden beads.  This is one of my favorites staves that I've made so far!

This is an S-shaped piece of lilac wood with a very nice green moss agate inlaid near the top.  It has been hand sanded and shellaced, and is 56¼inches tall.  The hand grip has a goose feather and the tip of a grey squirrel tail hanging from the bottom of it, along with several wooden beads and two glass trade beads, one which is shaped like a fish!  The bottom has been reinforced with brass plate to prevent splitting.
