How To Make A Custom Fancy Walking Cane

For a fancier looking cane, you can add a collar between the handle and shaft. This can be of almost any type of wood. I like to use a contrasting color of wood to accent the rest of the cane.

Select a piece of wood at least 1.5" x 1.5" x .5" 1.0" Thick. Any smaller and you will have difficulty holding it in place while drilling. You may still want to use a hand clamp to hold the wood, as when the drill is in the wood it can spin and you will lose control of your grip. If you drill the hole in a larger piece of wood and then cut with the band saw, this will eliminate this problem.

I used cherry for the shaft, mesquite for the handle, and a wenge collar. I used teak oil to protect it all and applied couple of coats of wood wax to give it a slight sheen and to smooth the irregularities out of the wood.

Request: If you make another one in the future, can you please demonstrate the tools you used to make the handle and how you shaped it in more detail? Thanks!

I do woodworking, and a friend of mine who is in the SCA made a wooden bokken. His first one was Purpleheart, which is very hard, but once it reached a certain point of stress, it cracked. I suggested to him that he use a springy wood, such as Ash, Yew, or Osage Orange, since such woods can bend and snap back to their original shape. Cherry I don beleive would be a good wood to use for a bokken. It hasn got the elasticity of Ash or Osage Orange. It would look good until you actually tried to use it in a practice combat. It was very informative! I like to make knives and just started reading about making canes and or walking sticks. I have been collecting them for a while and thought I would prefer to make my own. The materials I

them off then on a cane for all to see. I have made an attempt at some walking sticks in the past here are a few examples of them (I call them "yardsticks").
