Button top canes

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Anyway, that's what I call them…Sometimes I'll call them noggin knockers…Was trying different style canes and these happened. The little nubs are ebony and really help with grip. I like them lots.
The dark wood is mostly English Walnut. There is some maple and other unknowns. Like the red stuff. I was given some of that. The guy said it was from a crate he found. I got a few good pieces from that. Very cool.


The tip ends I get from my local Rockler dealer. They used to have a bigger size too, for heavier walking sticks. I used a lot of those over time but they stopped selling the big ones, sad face here…
Warning: If you buy the cane tip from Rockler make sure you check all the drill hole sizes….I got the big size instructions with the small size tips…That will really mess up your day, if you drill your holes too big…Trust me…
I shape everything by hand, no lathes just rotary and hand tools and hand sanding.
Thanks for looking…
