I'm making a cane for my wife. It's made from a crepe myrtle trunk. So far it's unfinished and only has the handle attached. I will still cut it to length and attach a small rubber tip. Of course she said she kind of like it long. She teaches ballet and she said it looks like and old school ballet diva teaching cane.
I really like the wood. It's quite white. I am almost afraid to apply any finish. It's also not bad to work. Tight grained and yet not too hard.
The trick will be to cut it at a place along the curves that sits under the top so it can be used s a functional cane.
