Building a Cane #15: The final product

I blogged the progress of building this cane as I was recovering from back surgery, and now it’s finished. Ash, a narrow strip of granadillo, white grain filler on the handle, and 7 coats of Tru-Oil to finish it. The diameter of the shaft is close to 1¼ inches (31mm).

I'm giving it to an acquaintance from the local farmers market this afternoon, who saw me with my cane on August 29, and said that he’d like one like it, so I made two. The other is still unfinished, but I’ll wrap it up over the next week or so.
