Not sure if the tag is correct, but I have a walking stick I have from the creek I meditate at. I'm trying to make it into a sort of Talisman. Never done wood carving before so I followed a YouTube video.

This is a tree spirit carving. When I get more comfortable I may try and add more detail later.

This is a Tree Spirit carving. From what I looked up they're often used for good luck, protection, and a connection to nature.

I learned about their European origins as the Green Man. Something I'm feeling drawn too and trying to learn more about it.

Overall goal is to add more carvings into this to help me stay connected to nature.

Please let me know what you think!

Mostly looking for critique and thoughts on my first time trying to carve something.

I'm brand new so I just used a pocket knife and a cut resistant glove. I tried following along with a YouTube tutorial.

I'm thinking of trying to carve some leaves on it next
