June 18, 201511 yr comment_60958 I have been tinkering with cane making. I made one and it didn't come out as I had planned. However it did give me a better idea. So I got out some Walnut and Maple put my idea to work and came up with this one. I like it, it is light, strudy and looks good too. Edited December 5, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston tags added Report

May 12, 20179 yr comment_109312 Canes are on my to do list. I'd like to make a few that have a "V" pattern similar to a pool cue. But, I have no idea about how to cut the pieces to make that pattern. Can you turners give me some guidance? Report

Best bet is to hit the pawn shop and buy a stick you like and make a cane out of it. Report
May 12, 20179 yr comment_109331 Thanks, Dan. Very interesting. I had in mind a much simpler design. One that could be laid up before turning. Like this one. Report
