Wood Carving: The Owl In Cedar
This is a very old piece of High Desert Cedar that I carved an owl looking out of it's home. I love the natural color of the wood and I try to perserve that in every piece that I do.

QuotableWalkingStick
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.

Feb 27, 2014Michael, 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.

May 7, 2014Michael 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.
