I have a hobby/retirement business carving walking sticks, hiking staffs and canes. I also carve bowls, make letter openers etc. If it's sunny, I explore; drive, hike, bike... and when it rains.. I carve. I also cut and sew leather satchels for my walking sticks.

You do some very nice work!
I have made a few hand made walking staffs myself in the last year that I thought were pretty nice.
Yours are much nicer.
I even considered using a brass feral (from a pool cue) to make them easier to keep in the car and such.
We had to have a 65 year old cherry tree cut down last year that I have made a few from.
Good work sir.
