My father was a Graduate Gemologist, jewelry designer/maker, photographer, woodworker -- an all-around creative man. For years, he and my mother had a nice jewelry store and gallery in the fashionable 5th Avenue Shops in Old Town Scottsdale. He passed away and I've been selling many of his items for my mother since she'll be downsizing into a smaller home soon.
My mom doesn't remember if dad made this, but since he enjoyed woodworking I'm going to guess he made it. Judging by the protective leather strap on the bottom of the cane it appears to have never been used. I'm not sure what the leather string is meant for, perhaps this was meant to be more of a decorative item or the string is meant for hanging the cane on a rack. I like the cane because of its rustic look.
Quick online searches show that handmade wood canes have somewhat high asking/selling prices for some reason, but you can have this nice one for a low price.
You're welcome to come over any day of the week during the afternoon hours of 12:00 - 6:00. My wife and I work from home but one of us will be able to get away from our computers to take an afternoon work break and show these to you.
