The Twisted Cherry Walking Cane is a relatively lightweight, yet sturdy, walking cane that is fashioned from cherry and accented with our distinctive twist. The finished cane is an attractive walking aid that boasts both utility and style. Cherry is a distinctive wood that offers lightweight handling, strength, and flexibility -- desirable traits for any walking cane. Each piece of cherry is carefully selected, cut, sanded, and finally sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer. The handle is affixed to the shaft with a timeless mortise and tenon joint for a strong, secure fit. The mortise and tenon method is known for its unusual strength, and has been used in word working for centuries. The cane -- available in a standard 37-inch size, or a larger 40-inch size -- can also be personalized with laser engraving, and outfitted with a fashionable cane strap. Each cane comes with a standard rubber ferrule for a firm, secure grip on virtually any surface. Like all of our staffs and canes, the Twisted Cherry Walking Cane is handcrafted in the USA using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods.
