I think canes have an interesting shape and the joinery seemed a new challenge so i made one. The granadillo handle is held on with a round wedged tenon. The maple mates the cherry with a scarf joint and a granadillo key and dowel. would do several things different if i were doing it again, but i don’t really need to do it again. It was fun though.

Beautiful cane. There certainly are worse things in life than needing a cane.

nice looking cane.
I really like the look of the grain on the top edge of the handle.

I’ve had 2 discs removed and each time there was enough temporary nerve damage down my leg that I needed a cane to walk after surgery for a couple months. If I’d had a cane that looked that sweet I’d probably still be using it – just cuz it’s so darn cool I’d hate to stick it in the closet:-)

When I first saw the title or your post, my first thought was a First aid kit.
Very nice cane!

Looks beautiful. But if not for you, then who is it for?

That’s wonderful. I’d be proud to hobble along with that. The workmanship and the beautiful woods are striking. Nice box background too!
