After many long months I finally finished the cane. It is made of Aspen and sized for myself. That way no one will want it...way too short. Hehehehe. A method to that madness huh?
And no..I will not be staining it or painting it. I want to leave it with a natural finish. It is sealed well though and made in a way that the handle can't come off..ever ...so very safe to use.
I only hope that I never actually need it.
