Shepard's Crook Walking Stick
Hand made Shepard's crook walking stick featuring a Figured Cherry Crook, White Bone spacer and natural Hazel shank. It has been fitted with a brass ferrule that can be switched from a rubber to metal hiking spike for rough terrain. This piece has been purchased but I look forward too making a custom Shepard's crook walking stick for you.

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 Custom cane5.0Both the experience and the result of working with Mr Demers were exactly what I hoped for. The cane he made for me follows the model of one or two he has previously made, but the woods are quite different; he and I worked together to choose them, with my indicating the effect I wanted and suggesting some woods that might achieve it, and his employing his expertise and aesthetic sense to give me further practical options. He was scrupulous about consulting me and explaining why, given the specific pieces of wood at his disposal, our original plans had best be altered. The cane that I saw, first in photographs he sent and then in its actual glory, fits my desires to a T. It's lovely to look at, comfortable to hold and walk with, and dressy to the exact degree that I wished it to be. It was also remarkably reasonable in price. Would I work with Mr Demers again? Absolutely. I only wish I had an appropriate project in mind right now, so that I could do so at once.
Let me add to this enthusiastic recommendation that it's free of any personal bias: I did not know Mr Demers, other than by images posted on custommade, nor do I know him outside the context of this project. I also don't know anyone else for whom he has worked or is working.

For Wizard Wands5.0I love my wand!! I wanted a relatively simple wand and I let Rafe decide on most of the details. He created a wand with beautiful subtle detailing packaged lovely in a handmade wooden box. I will cherish forever.

For Custom African blackwood sticks5.0completed 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!
