How-to Trim and Fit a Walking Cane

After 36 years or so, I finally fit, cut, and refinished my grandfather's oak walking cane to my dimensions and need. I have used it every time I broke an ankle/leg or had hip/ankle/knee surgery - there have been a lot of all of those due to a mis-spent, but exciting, youth. It was never sized right for me though and I just made due, not wanting to cut his cane. The latest knee surgery/rebuild will require me to use a cane for an extended period of time (~4 months), so I finally decided to just get it done.
This fitting is not a shot in the dark or a "..I watched a video once..." sort of a thing. I have literally fit a 100+ canes for other people - I was a PT technician at one point during college - but for some reason never got around to taking care of my own. The fact that is was my grandfather's makes it extra special for me.

Hold the cane as normal, the high arc of the cane should be level with your hip bone, that's it.

Possibly…. I don’t remember there being a tractor supply in our part of Texas until the early 90s. They may nave been multiple places that sold the same cane - sort of lost in the mist of time at this point. The cane was bought 1980 or 1981 as my grandfather passed in ‘82. Knee is good. Healed well and am back in the shop and on the bike without any issues. Thanks!
