Walking Stick/Cane, The Warrior
I have attached a resin hand grenade (completely inert) to a one inch oak shaft. Then I paraphrased the speech between Josey Wales and Chief Ten Bears in the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales "There is iron in your words for all to see. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life." I was in the U.S. Air Force for 28 years so this speech means a lot to me. I greatly respect the warrior spirit in people whether they were in the military or not. For those who worry about such things, after I carved this one, I realized that the words of women can carry the same iron as men so I will change the words to "It must come from warriors" on future walking sticks. I meant no disrespect to the many fine warrior women that I have known. Shaft Material: Oak Handle Material: Resin Length: 37.5 inches

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 stick or cane5.0I was thrilled to receive my quotable cane, Michael. It is going to be blessed at Sacred Heart Major Seminary sometime soon. Be sure that I will promote your product whenever I can. I appreciate the extra effort you made in finding a piece of walnut, your friendly and kind emails during the process, and especially the heft and beauty of my cane. I feel the weight of dignity that comes with sharing the Word of God.
God bless you and thank you, Michael.

For Set of Canes5.0We ordered several canes and everyone was happy with them. It was great to work with Michael. If I ever need more canes, I know who to come to.

For Grudge Terrace Coasters5.0Michael is great to work with! He made me some marble coasters for my roommates and me. He was quick and the quality was great; he even made a sample and photographed it before making the rest. I asked him to make a change before proceeding, and it wasn't a problem at all. I'm super happy with my coasters and my experience working with Michael!

For wooden carved beads4.8Michael was wonderful to work with. He communicated regarding my project's design often, using pictures of samples he had created and updating me of his progress. He was able to be creatively design, as well as ensure that I was satisfied with the results. Not to mention, the quality was amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future!
