39'' Tall Diamond Willow Cane Inlaid Freedom Coin n 5 Stones, Strong XL Wooden Burl Folk Art

💠 WE CAN SHORTEN for free. If one wanted to remove the big crook at the bottom, we'd have to cut off 6 inches, making this a 33 inch cane. (Please see 'Size Guide' below).

This homemade walking cane is BEST FOR LEFT HANDED FOLKS. It's extra sturdy and unique, with a patriotic theme, inlaid with a carnival token that says "Freedom" and has an eagle over a flag shield and wheat stalks.



Ahh...the county fair. A great patriotic symbol of American Freedom itself. And after 2020, may we never take the county fair for granted, eh!



The agate geode and polished red, white and blue stones add a little extra flair to this already amazing piece.



Perfect for every day use to help you get around, taking pressure off your knees, hips, etc., navigate stairs, get in and out of chairs and vehicles, etc. Or use for just a little extra support during hiking or camping trips, as well.



This would be the best gift for your Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, or Sister, etc. because our canes have a unique and artistic, rustic but quality natural feel. They'll relish ditching that boring silver or black cane and proudly use this beautiful cane will help lift their spirits and put a little pep in their step.



FEATURES and DETAILED DESCRIPTION

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

💠 INLAID: The following 6 inlays have been artfully embedded into a carved indent, secured with epoxy, to give this already amazing piece for a little extra flair:

1. COLLECTIBLE FREEDOM COIN held in with four brass tacks and epoxy glue. I'm not sure what the coin is made of. It's not real money. It's one we got at the county fair in those games where you buy fake money coins and drop them in and hope they push other coins and prizes sitting on top of the coins down to you.

2. Agate geode

3. Red tigers eye

4. Snowy white quartz

5. Blue lapis lazuli

6. Red and clear quartz

💠 COMFY: None of the inlays are in a place where one would rest their palm so they don't compromise your comfort. Top is smooth and comfortable.

💠 FINGER GRIP AND HAND GUIDES: I use a cane daily and can assure you that neither the diamonds nor the stone inlays impede the grip. Rather, they make a great finger grip or hand guide so you always can tell if your hand is in the right place on the handle without looking at it.

💠 FIDGET STONES: Besides being a finger guide, they also gives the thumb something to fondle, like a worry stone or fidget spinner...especially the top stone on this cane. ;)

💠 AMAZING COLORS and spalted rails, all made by nature. No stains or paints added; coated with just clear poly.

💠 UNIQUE HANDLE: 🖐🏻🖐🖐🏾

♦ LEFT HANDED: Hand grip is comfortable for either left_handed or right_handed people, although right handed folks 'might' be irritated by the stone on the right side, while left handed folks will find that stone on the right comforting, as a finger guide or fidget stone.

♦ DIAMONDS: Unique in how there are so a few diamonds in the handle on the side, where the indents make great finger grips and hand guides.

♦ GIRTH: Hand grip girth is best for a Med-XL hand (determined by what size work or winter glove you wear). (Please see 'Size Guide' below).

♦ SMOOTH: nice and round for the most part; very smooth and comfortable.

♦ STRONG BRACE: Handle has a wood brace, making this extra strong. Brace is secured with pins and screws on both ends (covered with a wood plug sanded flush), to give you extra support, ensuring that the handle can withstand you bearing all your weight down on it.

💠 BARIATRIC: This heavy duty diamond willow wood walking cane can hold up to 400 lbs. Even if one is not overweight or obese, you can count on this sturdy hiking staff.

💠 MAX WT: 400 lbs. (Please see 'Max Wt' note below 'Specs'.)

💠 TALL: Perfect for someone with taller than average stature, HOWEVER some shorter folks just prefer taller walking canes.



HAS CURVES

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

For some reason this looks more curvy in photos than it does in person. But If one wanted to remove the big crook at the bottom, we'd have to cut off 6 inches, making this a 33 inch cane. (Please see 'Size Guide' below).



Curves do make it extra intriguing, but the stick stands straight for the most part (ie, comes back to center and isn't a bow or arc) and works great as a daily mobility aid. (I use one daily__crooked canes work great and have marvelously charming character.)



💥〰 CURVINESS RATING = 🦜''CASUAL'' 👟

CURVINESS RATING KEY

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

What kind of bird are you_

🐧''ARROW'' 🏹 is straight as if made by precision machinery 🛠 (one we never offer)

🦢 ''CURIOUS'' ❔is almost straight, with the slightest hint 🤏 of some curves that makes one take a second look to see this isn't factory made (very rare, but we do find these occasionally)

🦜''CASUAL'' 👟 is slightly curvy, but neither too intense nor too laid back; is charmingly comfortable 🧘‍♀️ in its own skin

🦅''DARING'' 🦩 is flamboyant, exaggerated curves willing to flirt with realms outside the norm, with a 🦚 flair for theatrics and creativity 🎨

🦉''WIZARDLY'' 🧙‍♂️ is so incredibly crooked that it leaves onlookers baffled, as its air of mysteriousness 🔮 lends to its credibility; only the wielder 🐱‍👤 knows of its experience, knowledge, purpose or destination, which they selectively reveal to few who are blessed enough to be deemed worthy of such an honor.



NATURAL MARKINGS

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

💠 ALL NATURAL: No stains, paints or colors added--just 4-5 coats of clear poly finish. The natural colors are spectacular, looking so much better in person than I'm able to capture with photos.

💠 DIAMONDS: Covered with an exceptional array of natural wooden diamonds 💎 with all sorts of wonderful twisting curves and a variety of tan, caramel, dark brown and reddish brown colors.

💠 SOME DEEP...This stick has a few particularly deep diamonds (although it's difficult to capture the many curves and forms in the photos). They're beautiful alone, and also perfect for embedding more stones or charms into them, if you'd wish.

💠 SPALTED RAILING: Has a bit of highly coveted, unique and rare 🦄 semi_railing effect, where the diamonds run into each other, become one with the wood and twist and turn the wood due to spalding/spalting.

💠 SOME PROTRUDING...Some "diamonds" even stick out like an ear, where you could pinch both sides and maybe lace or pierce something through them.

💠 INSECT MARKINGS: Has several insect and/or worm hole markings on this stick.

♦ Worm and other insect markings are somewhat rare 🦄 and are actually coveted, as they help create a unique design, character to the stick, and add another dimension to the story of how efficient nature works. 🦗🦟🐛

♦ The worms or insects have long disappeared, usually before I harvest or for sure 💯 during/after I dry my sticks INSIDE OUR HOME 🏡 for several months, then sand and coat with poly.



This is a OOAK (1️⃣one of a kind) unique piece with great character. 🎭 If you want a nice walking stick that shows nature's 🌄 beauty 🌈 through attentive craftsmanship 🛠, and this one calls 🔔 to you or tugs at your soul 💖, then this just may be the journey companion for you. ;)

SIZE GUIDE

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

💠 As a GENERAL rule, walking canes should be about elbow height or 2-4" below...give or take a few inches.

💠 But preferences vary, sooo.....

💠 If you've never had a walking cane, measure while wearing 👞🥿walking shoes, have your arms hang at your side. Note where your elbow is at. Measure from the floor to your elbow, and subtract a couple of inches.



✨ WE CAN SHORTEN, at no charge. We'll happily cut it down for you. Just let us know the length you want. Measure📏 twice and we'll cut once (then sand and coat with clear poly).



ABOUT MAX 400 lbs.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

💠 This could maybe hold more weight, but I'm just guessing at wt. limit. I'm "only" ~200 lbs. and test each stick just by trying to bend it to make sure it's sturdy.

💠 Most of my walking sticks have a weight limit of 350 lbs. but this is just a tad (1/8") thinner than I'd like.

💠 IF YOU NEED A CANE THAT WILL HOLD MORE WEIGHT:

♦ Check my other listings,

♦ or feel free to message us and let us know the weight limit you need. I'd be happy to guide you toward sticks in our shop that are thicker, or we most likely have one such stick in stock but just haven't listed it yet. If not, we could custom make one for you.

♦ Or I could cut a few inches off a walking cane you like, as that always makes it more stronger.

DISCLAIMER

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Since this is wood, and we're not a factory, I make no guarantees about the future condition of this walking stick, but CAN GUARANTEE it was strong without any large cracks when I harvested, cured, coated, listed, and packed it for shipping after it sells, inspecting it at each step along the way.



PLEASE INSPECT 🕵️‍♂️🔎 ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT before each use to make sure no cracks or weaknesses have developed, since wood does change over time.



CARE INSTRUCTIONS

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

💠 Bring it inside when you're not using it, and maybe wipe dirt or water off of it with a dry cloth or damp cloth if needed....when you can.

💠 Being left outside for a little while every now and then is no big deal. I've had the same stick I use daily for many years, and I leave it out sometimes--just not too often.

💠 These are made for the outdoors, but the clear poly is not UV tolerant like marine epoxy.

💠 Should not be left in the sun or extreme heat or cold for days and weeks on end. Otherwise, the same thing will happen to your lovely walking stick that happens to wood furniture left outside in all sorts of weather.

💠 Just bring it indoors when not in use, and the 5 coats of poly I've put on will help protect your walking stick and help you keep it nice looking and useful for many years.



SHIPPING

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

💠HANDLING TIME ⏱ 1-3 business days (engraving upgrade may add another day or 2)

💠 POSTAL CARRIER: Ships to via 📮 USPS Priority or Priority Mail Express, with tracking and insurance.

💠 NOTE: After we bring it to USPS, it is out of our

🤚🖐hands, and would hope you wouldn't hold us responsible for mail carrier mishaps or delays. We'll help any way we can if a rare postal situation happens.

💠 PACKAGING: 📦 Packed very well! I wrap each stick to prevent damage during shipping. (Please reuse or recycle ♻ the packing materials.)

💠 INTERNATIONAL BUYERS/SHIPPING: ✈🌐 This site collects tariffs or GST import and sales tax from you and I'll try my darndest to mark the package correctly so you don't pay those taxes twice.

♦ COST is calculated so neither you nor I pay more than actual shipping. (FYI, USPS just put a $15 SURcharge on anything over 22" long in 2022.)
