Blackhorse said:I just thought of something. I pruned out two pretty big flowering plum trees about two weeks ago. I always save limbs of any girth for garden construction, stakes, etc. So...I guess I must have about 60 - 70 pretty nice walking sticks out there...rustic...but nice. Plum is a lot like Cherry, once dry it is pretty stiff and not prone to breakage. I'll have look through my stacks and see what might suit the purpose.

With the exception of the one on the right which a buddy of mine picked up in Afghanistan last year, the rest are from Fashionable Canes including this one. (It was a gift from my mother which, I think explains a lot).

RockBottom said:I'm assuming that the first step of the instructions read, "Make sure the bull is dead."

Lovely Leah said:By necessity, I use a cane. Since I started wearing vintage, I have expanded my cane wardrobe beyond the usual grey medical looking sticks. When I learn to post attachments, I'll show some of them. Last summer, I was at a gallery opening wearing a forties suit, seamed hose and shoes like those in my avatar. I was using a ivory handled cane. A younger fashion diva gushed over my sense of style and how my choice of shoes and cane were cutting edge. I may have disappointed her when I said my choice of shoes and my cane are more the result of a disability than anything else. She said that I still looked elegant and that if she ever needed a cane she hoped she could do it with class.
