This is the link that originally inspired me to make a cane. I
didn't wind up doing anything it says, just remembered it later, and
went from there. Then too, I rembered when I was a kid around 10 or so,
I was given a walking stick made from aromatic cedar. Whoever gave it
to me had just whittled down a branch or small tree, and rounded of the
top end. A tad crude maybe, but worked, and there were a number of
people using them from day to day, so they couldn't be too bad. Smelled
nice too. I haven't put any finish on my oak cane, and it's still got
that oak small - kinda nice.

Not bad. I think I'd use a drawknife instead of that Arbortech,
though; those things scare me.

Yeah, I've thought about buying a similar cutter (but less $), but
keep figuring I don't need the adrenelin rush. They do have some nice
pans on that site tho - all of which seemingly require one of their
cutters.

I'll have to check it out. Once this blasted book is done, I'll have
time for some woodworking.

Did you check out the personal hovercraft on the site? That might just
about take my problem knees and feet out of the equation when I cover
road racing events! I may email them.

I last used a hovercraft back around...yeah, well. Jeez, late '60s, I
did an article for a motorcycle magazine; there was a dealer in Albany
and I borrowed on for a day, ran it up to a nearby lake along with a
friend of mine, and we put it through its paces. I loved it, but the
price was outrageous (as was the size: it took up more than a full
lane in traffic [we trailered it], couldn't be licensed [made one
helluva mess on dirty streets], but was a real blast, leterally and
figuratively).
