Survival Walking Stick part 2

After about 4 hours of work, I have the Diamond Willow Survival Walking Stick all carved out.  I put on two coats of Polyurethane and a coat of Boiled Linseed Oil.  

As you can see, the stick will contain a lock blade knife, an emergency whistle, a fire starter (magnesium, flint, and steel striker), a Mini-Mag flashlight, and a compass with a signal mirror in the cap.  I know, a mini-mag light is not the best, but it is water resistant, produces a lot of light on just two AAA batteries, and is lightweight.  Most importantly, is produces the most lumen for a compact light which I can insert into the stick.  

The only task remaining is to weave a parachute cord handle which will hold of these items in place.
