Custom Walking Stick - Cane #062: Redheart & Black Walnut

Beautiful work! It’s nice that you can do something that impacts someone’s daily life in a good way.

-- It must be jelly baby, cause jam don't shake like that...

Definitely a beautiful cane. Having used a cane a bit, sounds like she would be better off with a crutch.

Actually this is kind of a hybrid of cane/crutch/walking stick. It doesn’t reach the armpit to lean on, but the forearm should have lots of support. The position is like leaning on a handrail.

Meilie, Beautiful Piece!

With the extra long handle, did you have to do anything special to prevent the long part from breaking off? Also, from one of your previous responses, you said you do not turn you canes on a lathe. How do you get those beautifully symmetrical parts?

I Love it! The way you designed it does’nt look bulky to me . I think the design looks very cool!

One more important leap in your cane design. This needs lot of imagination and experience in handling patients. The finish and the choice of wood is superb. Getting wood to make such a big handle in one piece must have been a little difficult.

Awesome cane Meilie. I’ll try to get that stuff to you this weekend. My wife will be home Sunday and can help me.

Meillie A great looking cane. Did you have her mold some putty to get her hand shape or was it many fittings to get it right.

A fantastic design.
