Rattlesnake Cane #115 is finished and ready for sale! Carved from a single piece of Lodgepole Pine, the Rattlesnake is "Ready to Strike"!


This walking Cane has been in the works for over 5 weeks. This was the first time I made a snake with a figure-eight shape, and working around the tight curves was a real challenge.


It has a high-gloss finish on the cane shaft and handle, and I added the classic two-part hiking tip to finish it off.

Carved from a Single Piece of Wood



This cane was carved out of a single piece of Lodge-pole Pine by Mike Stinnett.
Measures approximately: 36 inches.

 

Paint to Finish

Some of Mike's next stages to completing this cane are: finish adding paint to the scales and eyes, staining the shaft of the stick, placing a cane tip to the end of the stick, and adding a polyurethane finish to the snake and shaft.
