Do you know this man?

Fri., March 19, 2010

Can’t beat the price: “I don’t sell these sticks, I give them away,” said Norman Oss, better known as the “Stick Man,” while carving a walking stick at his home in Coeur d’Alene on Thursday. “I want people to know that not everything in life is for sale,” he added. The average walking stick takes about two hours to carve. Oss carves at least 1,200 per year and gives every one of them away. (Kathy Plonka)

My husband and I both have our specially crafted walking sticks, and my polished amethyst is sitting right in front of me. Have you visited Stickman?
