Mermaid Walking Stick

$225

I hand-carved this Mermaid out of basswood then used two different stains to give it depth. The shell she is holding is carved from Olive wood. The shaft is one inch thick solid oak. She is ready to go on any adventure!

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Fast shipper

    Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.

  • Great service

    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.

    Mr Altom it was really fun working with you. You were very understanding and kind. The cost of the cross was really worth it. The way you engraved my name on the cross really looks awesome couldn't expect anything better, will always suggest your name. Thank you Mr Altom. #bestperson

    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.
