Stringman:
I got this piece of yucca stalk a couple years ago from a guy named Sal down at MOJam. I kept dragging it to the top of the pile and then puttin it back cause I wasnt sure how to finish it. Well, recently I found some more inspiration and got back to work.

First, I used a large metal pipe to hollow it out. Then I capped the bottom with walnut and plaited a strap with braintan (4 plait.)





The cover is a piece of an African python skin I got in a trade a few weeks ago (thanks Jason!) and was a nice fit for this project. My stitching is not the best, but the black silk is almost lost in the pattern.





I used some cane strips I got from beadman to finish the top lip...





And stitched another piece of braintan to the bottom to hold it all together.



Couldn't think of any sexy ways to accomplish the top tie off, so I went with simple.





Thanks for looking!
Scott

Cameroo:
That looks really nice, you did a good job on that.  One suggestion though - if you haven't already, you might want to put some foam or straw in the bottom to help protect the brain tan from getting cut up.
