Shorter Fashion Canes

$150

These canes are a mixture of fashion and utility. They are elegant in appearance and style, while being adequately strong for serious use. They can be made from many different woods in various combinations to give the each an individual style. The furnishings range from silver and crystal to wood and brass, and the occasional gearshift knob (from an Alpha Romeo in this case).

I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.

In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.

I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.

Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

    Mr. Barbour was a pleasure to work with. As a newcomer to CM, he was extremely helpful with suggesting best practice for my desired product. His correspondence was professional, shipping very timely and I plan to work with him again. I would highly recommend Mr. Barbour for your custom woodworkjng project.

    I am beyond happy with the personalized sign that Jim Barbour made for me! The price was reasonable, he gave me a variety of great options from which to choose, his communication with me was excellent, and the sign arrived in a timely manner, shipped very safely. This one-of-a-kind sign will hang with pride in our new camper and I would definitely recommend his work! Thank you, Jim!
