I just finished a couple of canes,, this one is headed to a gentlman in Texas. The man's son seen a cane in a resturant in Tenn. that had a state quarter mounted in the handle, and suggested that to me. That was a good idea that I never thought about and it works out very nice,,, I am sure I will be making more of these when I get a chance,,, they make fantastic gifts.

I like the use of the quarter! Wish I had time to make one of these it looks like a fun project.

I really like your idea Terry, great job.

Nice job Terry......Chuck

Now I like that. And the use of the quarter gives it a little extra.

Thats a great Idea,,, Dusty,, I never though of using coins to date a project,,, I think I will borrow your idea and start to do that..

Awesome job on the handle. I've seen the use of coins before. (Silver dollars on a belt buckle)

Do you just put the quarter on one side or both? Showing both sides of the coin? Also like the idea of using coins for dating the project.

Visteonguy · 01-19-2006, 11:39 PM

Well The cane you see here was made for a gentleman in Texas, so I put a Texas coin in each side with the Texas side of the quarter showing,,,

It turned out so well I made a cane for an uncle of mine that now lives in Florida,, he used to live in Michigan,, so I put a Florida quarter in one side and the other side sported a Michigan quarter,,

I think that the use of the quarters added a classier look to the canes and seems to be a hit with every one that sees them...
