Curled Canes
The "CURLED"
Canes have been
sought after by people who enjoy or need a cane for years. The stick is created by nature when a vine
grows around a small tree. Both the tree and the vine continue to grow and over a
period of years and the vine will cause the unique curl of the stick. These
"CURLED" sticks are very difficult to locate and require many hours of searching
in areas where they may grow. I often think
searching for the stick is half the fun.
During the coldest time in winter, once the sap has had time to go down
from the trunk, is the time to harvest the trees. The
cut trees are stored in the loft of the barn and given time to cure over several months.
Once the trees are cured, the bark is sanded smooth by
hand. A coat of sand sealer is applied and allowed to dry for several
hours. Three layers of "Polyurethane" is applied to provide water proof
coating.
May the
road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back; May the sun shine
warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet
again, may God hold you in the palm of His Hand.
