Blackthorn walker

Now this is one of favorites.  This is a heavy blackthorn walking stick.  I cut this quite a few years ago and let it season for about two years.  I didn't really need to do much with this other than a bit of smoothing and cleaning.  I was amazed at the beautiful red colors that came out of the wood as I carved it.  The only problem is that it's so think on the end I'm struggling to find a suitable ferrule for it.
