Default Old Man Cane
Just finished my first cane and wanted to share. Made from Bald Cypress. Hurt my back while carving and finished it so I could use it! It's really comfortable with the flat top and slight curve in order to have something to hang on to without too much effort.

Superb work! Love the bend in the head and that looks like a good feeling grip to boot.

Absolutely brilliant! Just love the expression. Got a few questions though...

How long did it take you?

What did you finish it with?

Can we see more of what its leaning against?
