BrazosHandcrafted Wood

It's nice to have something one can call unique, the oak is a unique piece of wood as are the handcrafting and finishing of this walking cane, even though it may be one of a large production run it is an individual and distinct in subtle ways from all the others.Looking at it the design the twisted pattern is pleasing on the eye, the colour is a brown with just a hint of red, a stronger red would be a bit too much probably, the finish is half way between gloss and matt and the grip feels non-slip and comfortable. A nice touch is the colour matched ferrule.The standard size of 37 inches will need shortened before I use it, straightforward enough. Weight is lighter than expected.It's probably obvious I am very pleased with this cane.I should also compliment Amazon on their delivery logistics, despite a journey from the USA to Northern Ireland in the UK it arrived on the specified date.One last observation on US versus British language. Over here "cane" is a term usually used to describe a lightweight cane used by schoolteachers to inflict corporal punishment on pupils as in the days of my childhood; this punishment is no longer permitted. What the US calls a walking cane we call a walking stick. What the US calls a walking stick we call a walking staff.Whatever it's called, this is a good one.

When it arrived I was disappointed because it was so heavy and I had to get it tapered.Much better now..
