Those seeking a rustic and reliable walking companion should look no further than the Free Form Hickory Walking Cane. Hickory is a dense, rugged wood that is able to withstand the most strenuous conditions. Its unparalleled strength has made it a wood of choice for tool handles, bows, and baseball bats. Our Free Form Hickory Walking Cane is made from carefully selected wood that is carefully cut, sanded, and sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer to bring out its natural beauty. The finished product is a walking cane that's durable, dependable, and strong. The ash handle is prepared with equal care. It is attached to the shaft with a timeless mortise and tenon joint for a strong, secure fit. The mortise and tenon method is famous for its unparalleled strength; it has been used in wood working for centuries. The Free Form Hickory Walking 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 Free Form Hickory Walking Cane is handcrafted in the USA using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods.
