A beautiful looking cane. I’ve bought Macawood from Kevin Yardley. He lives in northern Philadelphia area. He owns a company called Diamond Teak. I used to go over to his warehouse and picking up what I wanted.

His wood site

He also sells wood on ebay you might find some there.

But the wood that I bought from him is not like Paduke. Most of the pieces that I have are planed to 1” and are about30” long.

Fantastic!!

Great design and craftsmanship, what a beauty to get to carry and use. Functional art, my favorite…...............

Superb cane! I really like that piece of Walnut, both woods go very well together.

Beautiful project. What if I told you I had a locally produced wood that matches the criteria of your post ?

Meilie,

I really think this is one of your best color/wood combinations.

Great work! What fun! What is the finish on the cane? I like how you closed the open grain of that walnut. I have used TruOil gunstock finish to build a similar finish as well as multiple coats of the “Antique Oil Finish” built up on various projects. Gorgeous, great job!

Another Beauty, Mellie!! Every one of your canes looks so inviting to just reach out and hold, like they would be supremely comfortable in the hand! Excellent Work!!

This is one of the best canes you have made. I will love to handle such a beautiful cane. You are great Meilie.

The finish is Min-Wax Tung oil. I like the tung oil and the poly helps water proof it. This is not a heavy poly formula, but it gives a nice gloss without looking too plastic coated. The pores were pretty tight here, so I didn’t have to do much but apply multiple layers and sand in between. This cane has 6 coats.
