Carving in granite is hard work but the results are wonderful. I take scrap pieces of countertop and turn them into art pieces which can be displayed throughout the home.

I retired from the USAF after 28 years and now I make canes, walking sticks, jewelry and art pieces full time. The Quotable Walking Stick is a concept that I started. I find rare, unusual, and/or antique items to make into walking stick handles. Then I find an appropriate quote from literature, movies, music or elsewhere that I feel compliments the user.
Quotes have always been an important part of my life. It is comforting to know that others we admire think along the same lines as we do. I hope you will find one that speaks to you.

For CaneIdeal maker to work with. Timely, responsible and, even though I was finnicky, entirely patient the entire time. Great experience!

For Phoenix canesWorking with Mr. Altom was beyond excellent. He excelled my expectations in every respect. I never thought that someone could be so personable and professional over an online site such as CustomMade. But Michael was incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and delivered a beautiful artistic product at a good price. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
