Just (about finished these two sticks, an antler thumbstick with built in compass and secret container (well not so secret now ) on a birch shaft ....
Secret container ( a mini plastic test tube!) not much space, perhaps only fit a couple of matches or aquatabs in there :yikes: A leather washer is fitted between the antler and the wooden cap/ compass
.....and my first carved woodspirit , on a hazel shaft
Not sure about the paracord, will probably go with a leather wrist loop
Difficult to get a photo to show the detail...
The hole for the wrist loop was drilled so that a piece of copper brake pipe of slightly longer length could be tapped into place, and then carefully worked, firstly levering with a screwdriver, then tapping with a small ball pein hammer folding the tubing back on itself so it held firm , if that makes sense
Thanks for taking the time to look
Cheers
Mike
