So I assume this was with the Rotary jig or a lathe? Looks real good.

Nice to see things being produced on the rotary jig. You dragon came out nice and not a bad paint job either.

Thanks Sharon, one day I hope to paint 1/2 as well as you do. I just wish I could find brushes that keep their points longer than 5 stokes LOL detail work is not that hard when the brush stays formed.

Thanks, just a note on Ed's design, I used a tenon for the handle to cane joint verses a dowel,
for stability. Just made me feel safer about selling it to some one.

So, the Dragon cane has found a home, the people who own the lunch shack in the building where my wife works have a brother who has cancer in his back and keeps falling needed a cane. He wouldn't use one because he said he wanted a BADASS cane.So the wife took it to work and they loved it, so she bartered a few free lunches for the cane and there brother has a cane he will use , he is terminal, I hope this gives him safty and pleasure as he fights this cancer.
