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.

Oct 20, 2014We could not be more pleased with our finished walking sticks. As an organization, we can be quite complicated and Michael was very patient with us. We could not have asked for a better experience or a better craftsman with which to work. We definitely recommend Michael! -deb c.

Apr 26, 2013Working with Michael Altom has been thee best! From start to finish he walked me through better ideas and kept me updated with every move. A real gentleman. He gave me just what I wanted and more! I just cant believe it. My friend has ALS and has a very difficult time walking and so I asked Michael to carve my friends life accomplishment on a walking stick or cane. He loves to hunt, fish, snowmobile, go four wheeling and loves his family! Michael expressed all of that for me in the most unique way imaginable! A real Artisan!! God Bless Michael Thank you and all the Best Tony Manzo

Dec 11, 2013My 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.
