Create a Eagle-head walking stick with Bob Lindemann.
Spend your morning learning to carve a small Bellamy Eagle head with Bob.
After lunch, Bob will hand out a Striped Maple “Moose Maple” stick for each participant. You will carve down the top of the stick, and use what you learned in the morning to carve the eagle onto the top of the stick. You can then carve other things on the stick.
Your walking stick will be “green/wet wood” (just cut) so it’s a bit easier to carve. It will need to dry at home over the winter. These can be painted in the spring (after fully drying) at home, or add a name on it, etc.
Open to all but a bit of experience helps, especially when your get to the stick which is more difficult than the practice piece. It is best if you already have a knife and glove; please call the Museum if you do not.
Class is $45 (there is a $10 discount for members)
Art, coffee, wildlife festivals, wood carving, migratory birds—even trees! This is a happening month. Events at the museum are below, or check the special upcoming list for a few extras.
The Museum is open Wednesday – Sunday, 10 am – 4 pm. The trails are open sunrise to sunset, every day. The best access to to those on the south, the pond side of the property, thanks to flooding in July.
