Mammoth Ivory Cross Necklace
Hand carved cross made from 10,000 year old Woolly Mammoth ivory from Siberia. Each cross is unique as the ivory changes color depending on the minerals in the surrounding soil may color the ivory. The cross is 1.5 inches by 1 inch by 0.25 inches.
Meet the Maker
Michael Altom
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.

Aug 31, 2020This is the second cane I've had made by Mr. Altom...great craftsmanship, great communication, just a great experience. Professional in all aspects and pays attention to every detail of the project.

Jul 19, 2013There 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!
