Here is a replica of the cane prop used in the film Jurassic Park. It features a cast resin top with a Large Crane Fly suspended inside to simulate the Amber cane topper used in the film prop. The cane and top were handmade and have been finished with alcohol dyes and a Spar Varnish. This was an amazing, challenging and fun project to create. I look forward to making other prop style canes and projects so please reach out with your ideas!

For Cane with amber mosquito jurassic park replica ProjectI don't have it yet, but have seen the pics, it looks great, when we started this project I didn't know that there was another Jurassic movie in the works so there will be renewed interest in stuff from Jurassic Park. Rafe was wonderful to work with and I will certainly keep Custom Made (and Rafe) in mind if another project pops up. Rafe, Merry Christmas, I'll email you when it arrives.

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!

For Wizard WandsConsidering how I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted it to look, nor did I know what I really wanted to give him, I kept it simple in my order and I think the maker did a great job in giving me something that I, and I hope, my brother would like. I can't wait to give it to him on christmas. Thank you. Both of us are Harry Potter fans and while I would also like my own wand, I rather get one for my brother first.

For Pistol Grip Walking CaneRafe 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.
