Stephanie Xoueisomphong, Figured Walnut Walking Cane (Art & Accessories)

I made this walking cane as a gift for my first woodwork teacher. He is a former cabinet maker who suffers from cerebral palsy. The cane is made of a stunning piece of figured walnut that was left over from a previous project. The handle was carved from Fijian mahogany and brass collars were bespoke. I finished the piece with blonde shellac to highlight the grain.
