Tom Wolfe Carves Fancy Canes

The cane is a simple accessory with a lot of personality. Some are sleek and elegant, some are twisted and gnarled, others are bright and silly. Canes make great carving projects for many reasons: they have endless potential, require only a relatively small time investment, and are good pieces to practice on. They also make terrific gifts, and are top sellers at shows.
