This walking stick is graced with a resin Barn Owl for a handle. The shaft is 7/8th inch oak. The shaft is plain now but I could easily add in a name, a quote or anything else the user would like.

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 Quotable Walking Sticks And CanesThis 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.

For Grudge Terrace CoastersMichael is great to work with! He made me some marble coasters for my roommates and me. He was quick and the quality was great; he even made a sample and photographed it before making the rest. I asked him to make a change before proceeding, and it wasn't a problem at all. I'm super happy with my coasters and my experience working with Michael!
