Cherry Cane

Project by dennis mitchell posted 553 days ago 710 views 1 time favorited 20 comments Add to Favorites Watch

OK so I kinda borrowed the whole idea from Mark DeCou. It has been on my list of things to try and I really enjoyed building it. The cane was built from a cherry tree branch. I used a chunk of deer antler that has been sitting around my shop for years. I think I picked it up on one of my hikes. I inset jasper stones on each end of the handle. Carved and painted a real quick leaf pattern. Thanks Mark…next time I’ll steal you tip idea too! I can’t go wrong coping the best.

This reminds me of a box of moose and caribou antler I have on the top shelf and a wild black cherry branch I’ve been wondering what to do with. Thanks for the encouraging post.

BTW, nice stick!

Very interesting. Generally, I wouldn’t think much about canes, but since the Mrs. had to start using one this past year I’ve become quite interested. She has two rather attractive ones, but the one thing she mentions is the comfort of the handle of one over the other. Your cane is very attractive. I am curious about the antler handle and how it’s shaped and finished, is there a specific ideal or process? Or is the plan to follow the natural flow of the material?

Hi Dennis;

As far as I can recall, none of Mark’s canes had a stump handle, so you should be okay!

Nice work;

Lee

A very attaractive cane with a unique handle. I have got some pieces of wood fit for making canes. Your design of handle has reminded me of those pieces and I will try to make one from them.
