Whitetail Deer Antler Walking Cane Handle with Silversmithing Work

Blog entry by Mark A. DeCou posted 547 days ago 900 reads 0 times favorited 5 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a walking Cane handle that I am working on for a commissioned cane. The Antler has an end cap done in Fine-Silver, a technique I developed in the silversmithing classes I took this Spring.

Thanks for looking,

Mark,
Incredible workmanship!
What will the cane be made of?
Is that a coin you inlaid into the silver?

Mark,

I can see that you are having fun with this. It is rejuvenating to add a new technique and the novelty of it keeps the adrenaline pumping. These look good and, with your creativity, it is going to be interesting to see where silversmithing is going to take you.

I would love to see the silversmithing in action. I just love the look. When I ever need a cane made, I’m coming to you for a custom fit. Your canes say more about your passion than just another project. You have an eye for that special look, “Custom”. Thanks for your posts. They inspire and encourage.
