As a disabled vet I thank you!
I've turned my own canes for my own use and for a few other people that requested them.
Now that I'm in a wheelchair the cane is hung on the back of the chair.

I hope this video has helped you. The hook has been a big help to people

[@stephenmayne4886]

Thanks for helping the veterans.

You're welcome! It's been rewarding to all of us.

how thick are your boards please get back with me i have asked q here before and did not get and answer

[@gwinnettwoodworkers]

We start with boards around 1 1/8 thick. I like to keep the canes around 1" when finished to give them strength. We have made and donated over 1,000 canes to the Atlanta VA and I'd feel awful if someone got hurt.
