The last thing that will require carving is the stick/branch, which you will use as a handle. Ideally, if you have someone to help you with it (hold the stick). ![]() The drill bit is a bit rough and working on that hole is a bit tricky. That will prevent the stick from splitting. Before drilling, secure the end of the stick using a circular clamp (photo). That was to fit a handle at the later stage. On top of the stick, I drilled a large hole. In between (front and back) I drilled round holes, which later serve as base for beads. I made them on just 2 sides of the stick. Make sure that motifs are aligned vertically.
