Walking Stick/Cane, The White Rabbit

Walking Stick/Cane, The White Rabbit

With this walking stick I was inspired by the Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit." After carefully hand painting the resin head myself, I carved the first verse of the song into the Cherry shaft: "One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall" I'm not sure but I think this song might, just might mind you, have something to do with drugs but don't quote me on that. In any case, I love the song and I hope that you will love this stick. This walking stick is NOT suitable for medical support. Shaft Material: Cherry Handle Material: Resin Length: 36 inches

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.

    Michael, was absolutely wonderful to work with! We asked for an initial sample custom made cane and we are extremely pleased with the final product. We will be working with Michael to produce a large quantity as a fundraising project for our non-profit organization. -deb c.

    My father-in-law's birthday was fastly approaching and I felt as if I couldn't come up with gift idea that was equally beautiful and useful. Until I stumbled upon Micheal's work. I got lucky! Not only is his work truly stunning, you have the option to pick a "quote" that has meaning to you or to whomever is receiving the gift. How thoughtful is that?! I knew I finally found the perfect gift. Michael was very responsive and timely and just an overall joy to work with.

    We could not be happier with Cory's walking stick. He loves it. Thanks for making it so special by helping me and adding your own thoughts. As I said we will be sharing your work everywhere we go.
    Thanks again…… for everything.
