[Woodcarver] canes

[Dick Faulkner]

I got a lot of good input on where to get cane staff and it seems that the
concensus is that pool cue seconds from Lee Valley are the answer, but my
problem is that they are not available on line and are only to be had at the
physical stores - part of the message I got back from Lee Valley is pasted
in below:
    "The product number for the pool cues is 99W3905 and they are $3.95
each, taxes are extra. Upon checking our system, we found the only stores
that still have stock are the Ottawa, Winnipeg, Burlington and Downtown
Toronto stores. Therefore, you would have to visit one of these store
locations to purchase the pool cue seconds."


>From Oklahoma, that would be quite a shopping trip.  Is there anyone living

near one of these stores that would be willing to pick up 3-5 of these cues
and ship them to me?  I would of course be happy to cover all costs.  If so,
please contact me off site at dickfaulkner at sbcglobal.net.

Or does anyone know of an on-line source where something similar can be
purchased?

Thanks for the help and input.

  I would like to make some canes for friends and family that are having
trouble getting around.  What I have in mind is purchasing  turned hardwood
shafts with a brass or other ferrule at the joint and making  carved handles
myself.  Does anyone know where I can purchase turned shafts and ferrules?


  Thanks for the help,
