Walking Stick" The Warrior Shaft
Topping this solid oak staff is an expended 20mm shell that is 4 inches long. The shell does not have any manufacture markings but it was used in military operations at an undisclosed location. In the shaft I have carved the warrior speech inspired from the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales" that I have paraphrased to suit my needs: "There is iron in your words for all to see. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from warriors. My words carry the same iron. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life. " This is the perfect staff for any warrior, man of woman. After 28 years in the military, I know the value of people who have iron in their words and what a rare quality that is in today's world. It is too bad that this is true. Shaft Material: Oak Handle Material: Brass Shell Casing Length: 50.75 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 cane with skeeter logo5.0My husband was extremely pleased with his new walking cane. The detail work is very impressive. We would definitely go through custom made again and particularly this maker. He was great at keeping me up to date on the project and sending pictures along the way. A very pleasant experience.

For Rook Cane5.0There weren't enough stars to properly reflect this experience - Michael was a remarkable professional through this whole project. I had my thoughts and ideas, but he really grasped what I envisioned (even better, in fact). He took great care through the whole process to update me on the progress and ask my opinion about everything, and obviously took his time and put great care into the details of this cane. A man of integrity, patience and professionalism, I'd be thrilled to work with him again in the future or recommend him to anyone for their Custom Made projects!
