Walking Stick/Cane: The Hunter

Walking Stick/Cane: The Hunter

$350

Topping this one inch thick solid oak shaft is an antique Irish Elk head. The head is made of very heavy metal, probably bronze, and appears to have had gold gilt on it. This is a very old piece probably from the 1800s. I purchased this at a local flea market and I have never seen another one like it. On the shaft I carved some great quotes about hunting: "If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting." --Aristotle "In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen." --President Theodore Roosevelt "Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians -except for the occasional mountain lion steak." --Ted Nugent This would be a great item for anyone who loves hunting or just walking in the woods.

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.
