The Road Less Travelled Cane

$200

This cane has a deer antler hancle that I hand selected then carved a bear's head into the base. This antler is naturally curved and very comfortable in the hand. The shaft is one inch Black Walnut and I have carved the following verse into the wood: "I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." This is one of my personal favorite poems from Robert Frost.

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.
