Was very pleased with the cane when I opened and unwrapped it. Very well made. I will be enjoying it for years. It is a piece to be proud of being part of our heritage. Will definitely order other items from artist, as well as others. Love it!!!
Purchased as a gift for a friend. I am sure she is going to LOVE it! It looks better in person than it does in the pictures. Seems very sturdy as it's one solid piece of wood. I will definately consider buying additional items both from this site and by this artist!
