How I make my walking canes
I like to think my walking canes are
rustic. My canes are used from the whole sapling meaning the handle
is usually cut from the same piece of wood that I am going to make into
a cane...
For the handle I drill a hole with a
forstner bit which drills a flat bottom round hole, I hand carve the
handle, and then I also carve the shaft to fit into the hole in the
handle, I then sand it smooth, and then I epoxy the handle to the
shaft. After it has dried I then put the finish on it, at least six
coats of spar urethane or nine coats of lacquer. All my canes come
with a rubber tip.
