A few more new canes I just completed.

The first one has some interesting wood in the handle. It was cut from a maple limb that had healed over an old wound. The red spot between the bark inclusions is where the tree was growing internally to fill the void. I really wish I had taken a picture of the limb before I cut the handle out.

This one is spalted maple with a found dead birch shank that I peeled and a claro walnut spacer. I was hoping for more contrast on the spacer. Still, it was a fun one to make.

Another one where I thought I would have more contrast between the woods. The handle and upper portion of the shank are a very red curly maple, the shank is cherry and the collar is flowering plum. I do like the effect of all the woods being nearly the same color though.
I'm breaking this up. I have two more to post.
