re: Shaping the handle

Thanks!

Greg looked at the two handles, and picked this one. We marked two spots on the side of the handle where it needs to be a little thinner, and I marked the shaft for length. Next week, I hope to have an almost-done cane for him with maybe another trim to the shaft (I’ll be within 2 inches of the correct length, but fine tuning that last bit is always interesting - my own cane is almost a full 2 inches longer than “recommended,” but it works well for me, especially on uneven ground.

Tomorrow will probably be more handle shaping, and maybe I’ll start carving on the shaft. I’ve got a few ideas in my brain, but I need to pencil them onto the shaft and see how they work “in the round.”
