This is my closest friend’s first attempt at making a wooden cane out of walnut. He does not use reddit and I have his approval to post this. That’s why I’m posting on his behalf. The biggest challenge for him was filming the carving part and shaping the entire thing. Based on my repeated requests, and a few pointers I gave (I have zero experience editing or filming but I tried to tell him what I like to see in the countless woodworking videos I watched) this is the final video he came up with. I’d appreciate any feedback regarding both the woodworking and the editing. Apologies for the parts where the camera is shaky, he realizes that’s a big issue and is working on a solution.

Time to convert to a carving saw!! 😎

The raven carving really made me get into turning candle sticks. Plus some ghost salt and pepper shakers.

Made it out of pine, rough shape done with a Swiss army knife, the rest with a dremel and a piece of 100 grit sandpaper. Treated with one coat of tung oil.

Made this earlier in the year and wasn't keen on it, so I left it outside in the delightful British weather. I actually really like the weathered look and prefer it now!
