Thanks for the report! At one of our favorite Amish restaurants on Friday, I saw a lot of sticks -- two were hand made and unique, both used for support!

Saw a hand carved stick at an antique car show in town today. Asked the guy about it and he said the carving gave him something to do while showing his car. He told me people ask to buy them. They were not anything special -- but I noticed that most of those at the car show were like me, gray heads.

We were at a civil war reenactment/encampment this last Saturday and I saw several hand carved canes and walking sticks being used by people! One was a walking stick with a morrel carved on top -- I also saw a really nice diamond willow cane. Hand made sticks seemed really popular at this event!

Also talked at length with a man using a period shaving horse -- very interesting!
