John Barresi Posted December 19, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2024 There has been a real shortage of nice ground stakes (at least in the US) since Walt Ellis stopped making his marble stakes - the two in this drawing are from my recent journey learning about making art stakes - they're not 100% perfect, but they are pretty and have my energy in them. Here are are some of the others I've made so far: (playlist - let it play through) https://kiteforge.com/product/kite-stake-skull/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought the "black lava" skull stake this morning 🤩 John you are a man of many talents! Of course, I would still LOVE to win this drawing and have a second Barresi stake. Big props to Walt Ellis. Unfortunately I have lost 3 of his beautifully made marble stakes over the years- 2 of them at Kite Party(s). Funny to think I have spent more on kite stakes than some will ever have spent on kites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frob Posted Wednesday at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 02:57 PM They look a lot nicer than my fluorescent golf ball stakes. 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
