This cane is topped with a cast metal eagle claw that fits comfortably in the hand. When you are ready to stop and rest, you turn the cane over and the eagle claw handle becomes a stand and your cane waits for you when you are ready to go again. This is a unique cane that is sure to get attention. The shaft is one inch Black Walnut. The shaft is plain but I could easily carve in a name, a quote or anything else the user wishes.

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 CaneMichael was wonderful to work with. He helped us create the design we were looking for, and was very flexible to making changes for us. He was accurate with the timeline, and even finished a bit early. His communication was great, he kept me updated with pictures and progress notes frequently. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a custom cane.

For wooden carved beadsMichael was wonderful to work with. He communicated regarding my project's design often, using pictures of samples he had created and updating me of his progress. He was able to be creatively design, as well as ensure that I was satisfied with the results. Not to mention, the quality was amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future!
