My cane is diamond willow with a flat handle part broader than a chunk of banana.
Nice to lean on (and I can't see it flex at all when I do.)
Just thinking the other day that I should have a look and maybe buy a second one (serious geezer discount, too).
I feel like less of a basket case than with a hospital-style cane made of bent electrical conduit.Brian T

Old door knobs make nice handles also. I have some that are white porcelain, black , and some brass ones with interesting patterns. They are very easy to attach to a stick, very comfortable to the hand, and very sturdy.'If it wasn't for caffeine, I wouldn't have any personality at all!"

The diamond willow shop usually makes canes in batches of 50. They can spend a month drilling the crap out of the diamonds and another month sanding.
I need my cane for balance so I don't tip over. I suppose an old door knob would feel good. Anybody with arthritic hands must have a terrible time
with the standard skinny cane handles. They must really hurt.Brian T

Well Done mpounders! Nice looking cane. I have made a number of hame top canes and while it is a bit top heave. like you I think of it as a attitude adjustment instrument. And I find it very comfortable to walk with. .We live in the land of the free because of the brave! Semper Fi
