Once upon a time........the Harris Hawk was known as the bay-wing hawk, because of the rufous coloration on the wing. The handle on your cane seems to represent this feature. I think the Harris hawk cane is great.

Very nice cane Bob. Could double as a bottle opener Just kidding - couldn't imagine such a nice carving used for such a thing. You have a real niche for canes.

Thank you for the nice comments folks. Paul....... I never thought about the Mahogany wood colour, but you are absolutely right. Looking at the photographs of the Hawk, the shoulders are a real bright rust! Very similar to the natural Mahogany. Thanks for mentioning that. I love the hawk, such a rich colour and magnificant face.

Bob
