That is a beautiful maple cane, very highly figured.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man - By the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I ordered bent wood blanks and finished them myself. They were too cheap to try to make on my own. I think I bought four for $40.00.
They are $11.00 each now. Steam bent from ash. 1" stock. Very robust, but more utilitarian than decorative. But a nice stain and finish make it very presentable. I added rubber tips from a crutch. http://www.farmerbrownsplowshop.net/handles.html

I worked on the cane this morning, and shaped the tip using strips of 80 grit sandpaper for the final fitting.
Sanded the entire cane with 120 and 220, then chose Watco Medium Walnut Oil Stain. Dark enough, but not too dark for the Spaulted Maple.
She is done.... and I will apply three coats of British Beeswax...

How is the handle fastened on the Gents version?
