Cane for a Veteran.

Post by stickmaker »

Mahogany handle teak shank. I completed the finish and added the Marine Corp medallion. Presenting it to a fellow Vietnam Veteran tomorrow.

Very fine tribute! I like the composition of the handle, staff, carving, and medallion.

That's beautiful work. I really like the carving.
I made a commemorative cane a few years ago too. Mine was commemorating the Marines using the M1911 .45 ACP in 4 wars.
