New Product - Cane/Walking Stick

And here is the cane talked about in my previous post.  It can also be used as a walking stick - the black rubber tip screws off revealing a spike.

It's Christmas Eve and...

It just doesn't seem like the year is almost over.  I do minimal celebrating at this time of year so I haven't had to endure all of the hustle and bustle that maybe you have.   The days, for me, seem like almost any other day of the year so the end of 2009 is coming at somewhat of a surprise for me.

I did make one gift this year.  My dad had a stroke earlier this year and now, at the age of 90, has to use a cane to keep him steady.  He bought a $10 aluminum cane at the local pharmacy and it's working great.  But I couldn't resist and so sneaked a measurement of it's length and I made a wooden cane for him with beautiful brass hardware.  I made it with tiger maple stained a light brown.  I also put high gloss polyurethane on it so it would really stand out.  I'll be taking some photos of it tomorrow morning and will post one here.  I hope it helps him to walk proud.  I think the biggest gift my family has this year is that my dad is here to celebrate with us.

Merry Christmas,
Sue
