can begin discussing the construction of his walking stick. A appreciate all
the help.

Hey folks.

I've a cousin who has to use a cane to get around and he is the kind of
person you just like to help. I have been considering making a cane for
him,
but I am limited by my lathe. If I make him a cane, it will need to be a 2
piece cane. I've considered using something like is used to put a 2 piece
que stick together. The problem I've run into is I can't find a source for
this.

JD Lee Valley has cane heads, several couplers, and interchangeable
tips for both ice or normal times etc, I got a link here, just have a
look.

For anyone out there who has made a cane or walking stick, how did you
manage it and do you have a supplier for some means of screwing the 2
pieces
together? I've some nice pieces of walnut and maple selected for making
his
new cane and I'm anxious to get it done. Any help would be appreciated.
