The Pilot Stick

$350

The handle to this one-of-a-kind stick is a brast casting taken directly from an airplane's control stick. It is life-size and fits nicely in the right hand. With a 1.25 inch thick oak shaft this is a stick for a strong person. Right not the shaft is plain, but I could easily carve in a name, a quote, a military unit with dates served or anything the user would want.

    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.

    Honestly, all around great guy. He helped me out with a project in a field I know nothing about and was very understanding of my poor communication. He finished the project early and shipped our canes out across the country individually bubble wrapped. Can't hope for much more in a person than that.

    FedEx delivered item to the wrong address even though address on the box was correct. As for the project, cane turned out great. Communication with Mr. Altom was excellent, with us thinking along the same lines when it came to cane stick engravings/carvings. Very professional and optimistic attitude whenever we communicated. I would highly recommend him for future projects and recommend to others. Great working with you Mr. Altom.
