Walking canes

Attachment 32114

There was a thread recently showing the complete restoration of a carpenter’s brace, which I found interesting.

We have a great many braces donated, and sadly, many of them have to be scrapped, since only the best will be sent out to Africa.

I usually retain the chucks and the pads, straighten what’s left and add to my stock.

The chucks I use for the pommels of walking sticks.Attachment 32115

Some of the canes are malacca, salvaged from drain rods.

I epoxied marbles inside the chucks for decorative effect.
Not sure what to do with all the “buns”, however.
