Walking Stick/Cane, Take Me Out To The Ball Game
I have attached a cool old baseball to a 7/8ths inch oak shaft then hand-carved the first stanza to the song Take Me out to the Ball Game "Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team. If they don't win it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out! At the old ball game." For fun, I gradually increased the size of the lettering for the line, " For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out!" because that is the way the song is sung. This is a great piece for any baseball fan.

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 Walking Staff Totem4.7Michael was great to work with. He always asked me about something before going ahead with it and always listened to all my ideas. He was especially good about helping me figure out my budget. Great experience. Oh and the staff was killer!!

For Cane5.0Michael was wonderful to work with. He helped us create the design we were looking for, and was very flexible to making changes for us. He was accurate with the timeline, and even finished a bit early. His communication was great, he kept me updated with pictures and progress notes frequently. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a custom cane.
