The staff was made on a, Legacy Ornamental Mill ,It is red oak, 1 1/4 dia, to start with
Handle is walnut, was cut out on the band saw
This plan came with the machine, and was fun, all the other canes I have made were, sold or given as gifts, and I don’t have pics.
This actually came in handy a while back when I snapped my ACL and had to have knee surgery.

Looks great. The shape of the head is very realistic.

That is cool! l’ve always wondered about buying a legacy mill when l retire but living in Ontario, Canada l’ve never seen them for sale around here . l’m a little afraid of buying one from the states because if l have a problem figuring out how to use it there is no one close to show me what l need to know. l’ve thought of buying a used one but never found one closed to home. lf you have any suggestions l’d greatly appreciate it.

Same thing here, I thought you used a real hammer when I first saw the tiny picture. Looks good, and well made. I bet it can be handy for more that just a walking cane. It’s cool how you used two pieces of walnut to make the head. Did you “ruff cut the pieces first then assemble together to finish shaping it, or glue it together and shape it that way?

I didn’t have thick stock, it was glued up ,into one piece ,and cut. Some pieces ,were stuck back on,with double faced tape to facilitate cutting the rest
Thanks,all

At first I thought you had combined a Yankee screwdriver and had solved my problems of trying to hit those
pesky moving nails more than once or twice. Very nice looking cane, and Barnaby (our cat) seemed to like
it, after all these years, I still have not managed to understand cat language, but he did look at it for quite
a while, muttering merps before he left. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve seen that hammer head cane design before and thought, what a great idea. You did a great job on yours. Love the twist. Nice job on that hammer head….....................
