For Halloween this year, I will be dressed as Lord Licorice from Candyland.

In some of the Candyland board games, Lord Licorice is depicted holding a walking stick/cane of licorice. I decided to make a DIY licorice walking stick/staff to go along with the costume.

Supplies used for this project:

• Oak dowel 1 inch diameter by 36 inches

• 2-3/4" Dowel Cap (wooden sphere part) , 1" Hole (Had to widen hole a little bit to make dowel fit inside)

• Bright, red paint ( for dowel)

• Glossy, black spray paint (for end cap)

• Clear coat spray paint (for end cap)

• 5mm red twisted satin cord

• Wood glue (to fuse dowel and end cap together)

After I painted the wooden dowel a bright red, I wrapped the red cord around going in a spiraling pattern to make the the stick look like a twisted stick of licorice. I continuously turned the opposite end of the dowel to guide the cord around it.

I did have to leave it behind. There were small bits of bark getting stuck on me so it wasn't the best. It was definitely fun for a few minutes.

Ti's a stick older than the elder wand, and more potent in magic. Some say it is imbued with the essence of a malevolent and mischievous old deity. In the hands of a magic user it can be powerful. But in the hands of an evil person.... one can only wonder.

Months of baking in the southern summer sun have brought out the golden sap droplets in what is easily my favorite stick ever. And the sap smells so good! 🪎

Sorry for the breathing. My nose is stuffy.

Looks like a cane sword, or Count Dooku's lightsaber.

I have this stick that i found some Months ago, What is the rating from 0 to 10?

Super hard black locust stick. She's my best stick but I've still put 0 miles on her.
