Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a woodworker who specializes in custom walking sticks and canes with a focus on traditional English and Irish style walking sticks, many times with my own added twist.
With each item I aim to incorporate the uniqueness of the wood I am using and capture that beauty in the finish product. My walking sticks and canes are made to provide support for rugged hiking, stability in walking or for the collector. I make a variety of other wood products including jewelry and keepsake boxes, tobacco pipes, props and "magic wands".
All items are handmade to the client's specification, so if you see an item you like or would like something completely unique please reach out. I look forward to working with you to create a unique and beautiful piece that you will cherish for years to come.

For Pistol Grip Walking Cane5.0Rafe Demers crafted a gorgeous blackthorn-curly maple walking stick for me that exceeded my expectations. Rafe took my requested specs, provided valuable feedback and insight and created an instant family heirloom that far surpassed what i had initially pictured at a very reasonable price.
His communication with me throughout was outstanding and he provided photo examples of materials to help me make optimal choices. Rafe also worked with me to deliver my walking stick on a date most convenient for me; the packing was first rate and it arrived undamaged.
Superlative craftsmanship. A friendly, helpful attitude. Outstanding communication and customer service. This was a good experince for me. I highly recommend Mr. Demers and his work.

For Pistol Grip Walking Cane5.0Rafe is a great craftsman. He delivered the cane I wanted on time, and when there was a small snag (small blemish, hardly noticeable), he promptly communicated with me and gave me a discount to boot. On top of that, he sent me a followup package with replacement cane tips as well.
That's customer service done right.
Great guy, he deserves your business!
