I saw some of Marks canes and they reminded me of one I made. I call this Gonzo. This a cottonwood natural root and stem that I striped the bark and carved the twist. For the finish I took a torch and scorched the darker spots then used a light stain.

Roger,
This is a beautiful cane. The carving adds visual interest to it. Very nicely done.
Thanks for the post.

The head on it looks like gonzo from the muppets after turning his head around in circles watching a tetherball wrap a pole. There is a lot of character in this one. Great project and conversational piece.

OH yes!!!! I have a knee that needs replaced but I am putting it off. I’d rather limp around the bases. :) LOL!
