Ron Altier Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) 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.

lew Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 That's a beauty, Ron! Here's the web site of a lady who makes custom canes- http://gallerymh.ipower.com/index.html Maybe you can get some ideas. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Moody Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Very Nice Ron! The Walnut and Maple go together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 That is a neat way to add interest. Something you might want to try is a twist cut into the cane to provide an interesting pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bet is to hit the pawn shop and buy a stick you like and make a cane out of it. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thanks, Dan. Very interesting. I had in mind a much simpler design. One that could be laid up before turning. Like this one. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
