STAFF A
Shown in these three views of the top section of the staff are a unicorn, a dragon, a turtle and a couple of snakes.  You can see all the detail work that went into it.
The root of a Maple tree was used to make this lovely piece and it is just over 5' in height.  The idea behind this staff is to create and work with magics.
The dragon has fire coming out of its mouth, the snakes are coiled around ready to spring with thier tongues out and the turtle's mouth is open.
In the photo above you can see the top of the back of the bear's head and here in this photo you can see his face complete with carved wooden teeth.  On the shaft, just below the bear is a salamander.
On the shaft just above the bear you can see just a bit of the mouths ~ the unicorn's on the left and the dragon's on the right.  The salamander has carved spots on its body.
Here you can just make out the feet of the salamander in the top part of this picture.  Right below it are three white feathers tied on with beads and leather.
The rest of the shaft from here down is completely smooth as is shown in the bottom portion of this photo.  The whole shaft has a satin sheen to it and is finely polished in its natural colour.
