Nothing like making your own stick, Dan. Especially if the materials it's made from have some sort of personal meaning, e.g. a branch from a tree your grandfather planted.
Unexpected interest
I've been interested in walking canes and the skills behind making them.
In 2018 I had an issue that resulted in crutches and they were uncomfortable however I set them up.
I bought a simple lightweight telescopic walking stick in aldl or lidl and have had to use it sporadically.
2023 I find myself with ankle operation and 9 weeks off work recuperation and wanting an interest.
So I thought customised walking stick as further operations on the horizon and I have come to terms with needing to use one.
It seems an affordable hobby compared to my others and something to be proud of.

I crfted my mom and dad their own canes and Walking sticks.
I made them as father's and mother's day gifts, which was rewarding to the heart.
I recently sold a friend down the street one of my walking sticks - he has a bad knee, and needs mobility assistance.
Another few reasons to be proud of what we do.
