Well, you lost me on about every aspect except the oak. Serious issues I, and the Woodworking Gods, have, would be: Religious, serpent, "pretty colors", feather, lace, tag, message.
If you'd posted a link to a picture, I might have had a different view, but too much crap to wade thru to spend my time looking. Seems a bit insulting to those of use here who aren't Christian too (I'm spiritual myself).
You want to talk wood, fine; you want to talk religion, not so fine.
JOAT Sanity is vastly over-rated.
It insults you that someone else is different?
Or is it you just like to insult?

It appeared to be about his woodworking. The rest was in the description. I suppose you shouldn't describe anything you build as mission style, or shaker, etc....
Anyway, my $0.02
Merry Christmas
I agree with JOAT that a link to a clear picture of the staff would have been nice--he has one very tiny picture of it that doesn't let you get a real idea of its appearance other than that there appears to be a cross on it in the midst of vast quantities of stuff that have nothing to do with woodworking.
Kind of a shame too--he blew a sale--I have a friend who is into walking sticks and very seriously Christian who I might have given one for Christmas if I'd been able to tell enough about it from the Web site to decide whether it was worth bothering with.
In a company I used to work for the OP would have been right at home in our Sales Prevention Department.

If it insulted me that someone is different, I wouldn't be here, that's for damn sure.
One thing that does insult me is when someone tries to palm off their religioun on me, in the vastly mistaken belief it would "improve" me, or something - which I definitely feel was the case here - then, in turn, I tend to express my feelings about it. I happen to be "very" satisfied with my spirituality; I do NOT appreciate ANYONE trying to convert me their religious beliefs - and in returen, I do not try to convert others to my beliefs.
As for his staffs, I have no idea in the world how good, or bad, they might be, because, as I said, I wasn't about to wade thru all that "irrelevent material" to check. I was thinking of adding some more, but youre probably just yanking my chain, so there's no point in it.

Sorry, I actually thought your comments about irrevelent words referred to his original post. I see what you mean about the link to the website
- would've been more effective if he actually pointed to a clear picture of the example of his woodwork.
Nothing wrong in my opinion with the content of his original post, he just didn't direct to a clear pic of his woodwork, and I agree with you there.
Merry Christmas (and that's not intended to convert you, it's just my beliefs and I'd be pretty phoney if I wished you whatever you believed in when I don't, so no appologies for that).

Oh, no problems there, they know I'm really against proselytizing.

Nope, no prob with the post, just the website.
I've got no problems with a Merry Christmas greeting. And, if I wish anyone a Merry Christmas, and they come back with Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwansa, or faith's holiday, I'll accept in the spirit it's given. Of course, if they give me whatever holiday greeting first, I'll give it back, also in the spirit it's given. I figure getting pissed at somehing like that'd be about as stupid as getting pissed if someone wished me a Happy Groundhog Day. I'll even accept Happy Holidays from anyone who's worried about being politically correct. May the Force be with you. LOL

I was interested in looking but didn't see a picture of any woodworking there. Did I miss it somehow?
Perhaps you could post a link directly to the staves you made.
