Brazos Handcrafted Wood

It's nice to have something one can call unique, the oak is a unique piece of wood as are the handcrafting and finishing of this walking cane, even though it may be one of a large production run it is an individual and distinct in subtle ways from all the others. Looking at it the design the twisted pattern is pleasing on the eye, the colour is a brown with just a hint of red, a stronger red would be a bit too much probably, the finish is half way between gloss and matt and the grip feels non-slip and comfortable. A nice touch is the colour matched ferrule. The standard size of 37 inches will need shortened before I use it, straightforward enough. Weight is lighter than expected. It's probably obvious I am very pleased with this cane. I should also compliment Amazon on their delivery logistics, despite a journey from the USA to Northern Ireland in the UK it arrived on the specified date. One last observation on US versus British language. Over here "cane" is a term usually used to describe a lightweight cane used by schoolteachers to inflict corporal punishment on pupils as in the days of my childhood; this punishment is no longer permitted. What the US calls a walking cane we call a walking stick. What the US calls a walking stick we call a walking staff. Whatever it's called, this is a good one.

When it arrived I was disappointed because it was so heavy and I had to get it tapered. Much better now..

This item was exactly what I was looking for. In fact it exceeded my expectations. The price was right, the delivery time was excellent.

I preface my review with this: I rate it 5 stars but in that 5 star, I consider the price as a factor. Is this as good as and in the same league as my much more expensive canes? No, but I paid less than 1/2 of my next most expensive one, so that is a factor in my review. The Brazos Handcrafted wood cane 37" is a good, strong and sturdy cane, with good weight and a solid feel. The color is not red oak but more of a walnut. I thought perhaps I was sent the wrong cane but the 2 stickers on it both said Red Oak...It is brown, like walnut, but I really don't mind. Just not the color pictured in the site. The finish is not as smooth and refined as my much more expensive canes, but it is more rustic, and has a slight ( very slight) rough feel to it. Now, the actual feel while using: very well built, no warp or wobble. The curved handle is substantial, but very comfortable. My usual size for a cane is 34 inches but this is 37 inches. I am leaving it this height since the 'crook' style handle is very comfortable no matter the length. I am overall very pleased with it, and considering it is less than half the cost of my next most expensive cane, it was well worth the money, and will probably outlive me. A good coating of wax was all that was needed to bring the finish to life. If I ever lost this one, I would most definitely get another. For the record I am 5'9" 165 lbs, and the 37" although perhaps a bit too long for me based on cane sizing charts,, feels good in hand. Not only does it help with mobility, there is no doubt one could use this in a self defense capacity should the need to take care if some 'social issues' arise.

This is a nice solid cane and looks good too. The twist is unique. A good price too.

Good product.

I like this cane with twisted wood. I have people ask if I had made it. It's dressy and a bit taller than the regular canes.
