I hear we love canes here, so here's my hand carved hardwood one! Local wild cherry branch, a true shock absorber that fits both my hands.
Hardwood was non negociable for me since any vibration from the cane is sent to my shoulder and neck, I can't even stand an aluminum cane on carpet. And hardwood canes are not cheap, so had to DYI. I've been using it for about a month and it's such a life changer!
If anyone is in a similar situation, or just wants a durable whimsical cane, I'd be happy to do custom canes! Sliding scale pricing for those who need it; I'm not here to profit from those in need, I want to use my hands to help those who can't while I still can.
But truly, I heavily recommend hardwood canes; more stable and can easily last a lifetime. Also great defense opportunity; you really are supported from all sides. And if anyone wants to try to make their own? There's no gate keeping with me and I'd be happy to share tips and tricks!
Love this, it's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
(btw, this blog cannot endorse making your own cane but there's no judgment if you do; mobility aids can be expensive so you do you)
