Most of the people that have been here a while know what I do for a living. (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=62501 for those that don't) After 27 years it was bound to happen sooner or later, but I got hurt a while back. After two unsuccessful knee surgeries, I am having a total knee replacement on Tuesday. Coincidentally, one of the guys on my team had the same surgery about 4 weeks ago. So what the heck..... time to turn something for both of us. It was kind of weird turning a cane when I don't need one now, but will need one in the future. Hopefully I won't need it for very long though! See ya'll in a couple of weeks!
Jatoba with Jatoba handle - 37 3/8"
Jatoba with Zebra wood handle - 36 1/2"
I ordered the kits from Craft Supplies, but they basically were a waste of money. The parts are nice, but make for a very thin cane and seem kind of wimpy. I did use one piece of the kit to attach the handles. You could easily do it with just a dowel or pin and epoxy though. I turned the handles using off-center technique and then hand-sanded the middle section. Thanks for looking!
