thanks folks.

A couple more.  My other nice cane, simple wooded ball top and plain shaft.  This one actually has held me up during a short period of limping.


The whole group; the two 'dress' canes and a couple of my own short poles.  No idea what the wood's are, but these two poles have seen me through a good few days worth of hiking.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Nice!  The one on the right looks like it might be birch.  I have a few of them and
I can't tell the difference between yours and mine, but who knows. :)

All very nice, like what you done to the one on the right :tu: I like them with the bark on, love that all natural look.

actually given the horizontal pattern of the bark, birch sounds very plausible.  Cheers Sean. :tu:

could be Cherry. :)  I'd go with if you remember where you harvested it from and what the
stand of the day is in that area?

Walking Canes/Poles.
Reply #161 on: November 14, 2011, 09:31:12 PM
I'm pretty sure thats cherry. If you can cut into it a small bit, wet the wood, smell and lightly taste it. It should smell like cherry and have a sweet taste. Also there are lots near my house (wild cherry) if I can remember I'll take some comparison shots for you.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

Word of advice to anyone using a cane for heavy use. Get a hiking pole.  I bore too much weight on mine, & have ruined my wrist, and thumb.  Switched hands & have been using a hiking pole ever since.  I get asked if I'm blind quite often lol, but its better than the cane was.  I should have just swallowed my pride and used a walker, like I was told, but sometimes we have to screw ourselves to be humbled enough to listen to those wiser.
