Re: A line of Canes.
I am curious re the purpose of the bottom back protrusions. So they will hang on a hook??? The basic shape of the handle is called a “Derby” I think it has the most comfortable grip. But the back come to a point on that traditional shape. When you’re out there is not a cane rack some were nearby. I...

But I have always dislike the sinny handles, they slip and ture in my hands. And with old hands they can be hard to hold on t...

Drew the out line for the head and with mallet and chisel lowed the area around the head about a inch. Then...

Eagle Head
Carved this from Mahogany. I used a redish mahogany stain to highlight the head. Finished with a satin spar urethane.
I know the iris of the Eagle does not look forward like a human eye but I thought it gave it a more aggressive look. And it was done for a military family.
