The pattern for this balaclava comes from the July 1917 Modern Priscilla Needlework magazine. It is made here BY HAND in the USA by my mom and my aunt, exactly like it was made for our soldiers. It can be worn as a hat, and as a balaclava Made to order from 100% wool, a time tested outdoorsman's material (or acrylic by request)!! - click here for photos, prices, custom order requests and to review in-stock options!!____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ These beautiful sticks and canes are all hardwoods cut from the wild around Flagstaff, AZ elevation 7000 ft by my friend Bill. Each is stripped of all the bark from the sticks using a draw knife, then over 2 to 3 days they are sanded to a fine smooth finish. Each stick is then stained, mostly using a dark Walnut stain which brings out the detail in the grain, then varnished with regular varnish. A rubber tip is attached to the ends to protect both the environment and the stick. Bill also attach a leather thong to the grip of each hiking staff. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
