Here is my latest cane project but with a twist,sort of. It was made like my last one a
month or so ago using fifteen 1/16" strips. I first had to soak the handle ends in water
and then bend them around a piece of 3" PVC pipe and clamp them individually overnight.
I had cut a oak board with the "wiggle" as a form to use to clamp the shaft to make the
bends. The woods are maple and walnut and bent quite well. I then sprayed it with PRE-
CAT. It has not been cut to length yet because I don't know who will be using it. I not
real sure why I making these but they are fun to do.
