Beautiful! Love the color combinations!

Purple Heart seems to be “splintery”. Did using it cause you any difficulty?

Beautiful. I love the wood grain.

Thanks for all the great comments.

Lew: The purpleheart can splinter, but I’ve had only one incidence of this so far. The worst splintering I’ve dealt with so far is with Snakewood. It’s extremely hard and dense and tends to readily splinter, making it very frustrating to work with.

great cane. i just finished a bowl in purple heart bowl without a problem.. but angle heart.. that’s sould come with a skull and crossbones.

-- It's not a sickness, i can stop buying tools anytime.

That is beautiful. Fantastic craftsmanship.

I really admire your beautiful work. The gloss finish that you have on some of the canes is mesmerizing. Could you share how to achieve this type of finish?
Best regards,

Have you read an article on Walking sticks in The Woodworker, Vol XXX, January 1926, No386, page 296?
It is a nice article in case you have not read it.
Your canes as usual are very nice

I can’t even fathom where you have gotten the 1926 issue from! You will have to share this with us!
