Project Information

Working on the falcon canes. Fairly easy shaping with hand tools. Wore out all my rotary's again. Don't really need one with this design. So I'll probably be making more similar to this.

Mahogany, rosewood shaft, with a little purple heart spacers, mahogany falcon.

Thanks for looking…............

Nice work Jack! How big is the dowel you use for the core?

I'm fine Paul, thanks for asking. You know, life's what happens, while you're making other plans. John Lennon… I'm hanging in there as best I can.

Thanks you old Survivor….......I used 5/8 on this one…..............

Thanks Roger…......I was lucky, a friend searched a pile of scraps from a wood shop of some sort near his home and found that nice mahogany for me. I've been real lucky finding nice wood.

Real cool, Jack! It's great the way the shaft is shaped. Is it octagonal full length? That is awesome.

Thanks hairy, yes it goes all the way. It's not nearly perfect. I just mark lines on square stock then cut on the band saw. I smooth out with sand paper. So each side is close but not exact. I find perfection so inhibiting, so I don't really try too hard. The hand made look is really okay by most.
