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. .

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.

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.

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.

That is some mighty neat carving. One question did you happen to use a high speed carver for the detail work? Beautiful job.

Is the hame sort of heavy? I wonder what an engraver could do to it.

Oddly, the best stores are not here in the valley, but in the city.

Beautiful job on the carving!. The only suggestion I have is to see if you can find some oval head screws to replace the flat ones. I think they'd look better.
