Movie Inspired Walking Cane
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!

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 Cardigan Style Walking Sticks5.0The cane Mr Demers made for me last year is so beautiful that a close friend commissioned me to ask for a similar cane; and once again, not only was the completed work wonderful but the process of working with Mr Demers once again gave me great pleasure. His aesthetic judgment as to color and grain, is very fine, as is his craftsmanship, is very fine. Yet with both my cane and my friend's, using different domestic and exotic woods with different qualities, he was highly responsive to his client's desires and suggestions. He emailed updates and photographs several times to inform me and receive my feedback. My experience, and my friend's too, finally, was that we had works of art of high utility, sturdy, perfectly balanced in use, with handles comfortable and secure to grip. From my two experiences, I would look forward with some glee and total confidence to entrusting any other such project to Mr Demers.
