This is a Derby Style Walking Cane that was commissioned as a gift for a 70th Birthday present. It features a Black Walnut Handle, Birdseye Maple Shank and a Blackwood/Lacewood Spacer. I included a Mercury Dime in the end of the handle to commemorate the year he was born and his love of collectible coins. This style of cane can be made out of a variety of different woods and can personalized any way you like. I look forward to working with you to create a one of a kind cane that will be cherished for years to come.

For Custom African blackwood stickscompleted first stage of the project, a set of custom bloodwood Kali-Eskrima sticks. They turned out wonderful and beautiful. Was completed in a timely fashion and all aspects were completed in a very professional manor. Cannot wait to get second half of the project complete!

For "Lyre Thumbstick"Rafe was amazing to work with. Incredible craftsmanship, very accommodating, committed to a delivery date and met it, and was easy to work with. The price was more than reasonable for the product. I would recommend Rafe to anyone.

For Wizard Wands For Harry Potter FansI bought the custom made wand for my Harry Potter series lover niece. The wand and custom packaging was nothing less than perfection. Thank you for another memorable Christmas for my family.

For Wizard Wands For Harry Potter FansI can not comment on shipping really as it hasn't arrived yet because I am in the UK however the communication was great between Rafe and me. As soon as he was finished he sent me pictures and I was very impressed with the end result. He also tried new techniques on my product that came out brilliantly. The value for money was good considering HP studios will charge £30+ for a wand made of plastic, and this is personalised with your own design and made from proper wood. The project was finished very quickly. Would definitely use again if a project came to mind!
