Would turning wood make for a heavy cane?

As for making out of a rod blank, be sure not to drive over it or slam it in a car door - might void the blank warranty

Hey, Mike! I have got to say that a cane is a hell of a lot better than being in the wheelchair, which is where I last saw you.... Hope your rehab is progressing well.

My lathe is also a 1014, so can't help with the turning.....

I'd think it might be more like a table leg than walking stick.

Mountain laurel is good stuff, would make one heck of a carved cane.

Might just consider buying something really nice so it's sized right and has good balance. If you're going to be using it all the time I wouldn't cut corners.
