After Thanksgiving, I posted about a walking stick project I had worked on. The idea of the stick came from AMC's series The "Walking Dead." The wood shaft came from a 35+ year old piece of oak, with an Ice Axe Walking Stick Handle I had obtained from Treeline Woodcrafting. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=686835
I really liked the walking stick, but, it lacked something. After watching the mid-season episodes in the prison - I realized, I had the wrong tip on it. The traditional rubber cane tip, just didn't flow with the theme of the cane. I found some spike tips (also at Treeline) and ordered a couple for my cane projects. The "Walker Stick" took the medium size tip. It required shortening the original shaft by about 2 inches and shaping and fitting the hardware. Perfect for keeping the Zombies off the fence (humor intended) - LOL. Now, if I can just find a pewter bio-hazard medallion.
I spend a lot of time outdoors and the spike tip really enhances the use of this walking stick on rough slippery terrain.
