Heritage Walking Stick
A great way to pass down your family history. This one is mine. I carved in the Family name in the ball at the top then for each generation, I put in the Father's first name, the Wife's first name and maiden name, the state and the year they were born. I have 13 generations on my stcik which I will pass on to my grandson when he gets married.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Masonic walking stick5.0We could not be more pleased with our finished walking sticks. As an organization, we can be quite complicated and Michael was very patient with us. We could not have asked for a better experience or a better craftsman with which to work. We definitely recommend Michael! -deb c.

For Grad Cane5.0WOW. Our experience with Michael Altom was really incredible. He is so passionate about his work, professional, timely, and so kind!
We needed 21 very roughly carved handles turned into 21 finished and stained canes. We had a big order and a really tight schedule, and Michael really went above and beyond to make sure our canes were beautifully done within our timeframe. Michael consistently checked in with pictures and ideas so we could see where he was going and make any minor changes along the way. He is so accommodating, and the group next year will also be ordering canes through him! It was such a pleasure to work with Michael, and we are so happy with our amazing canes!

For Custom walking cane4.8FedEx delivered item to the wrong address even though address on the box was correct. As for the project, cane turned out great. Communication with Mr. Altom was excellent, with us thinking along the same lines when it came to cane stick engravings/carvings. Very professional and optimistic attitude whenever we communicated. I would highly recommend him for future projects and recommend to others. Great working with you Mr. Altom.
