A great way to pass down your family history. This one is mine. I carved in the Family name in the ball at the top then for each generation, I put in the Father's first name, the Wife's first name and maiden name, the state and the year they were born. I have 13 generations on my stcik which I will pass on to my grandson when he gets married.

I retired from the USAF after 28 years and now I make canes, walking sticks, jewelry and art pieces full time. The Quotable Walking Stick is a concept that I started. I find rare, unusual, and/or antique items to make into walking stick handles. Then I find an appropriate quote from literature, movies, music or elsewhere that I feel compliments the user.
Quotes have always been an important part of my life. It is comforting to know that others we admire think along the same lines as we do. I hope you will find one that speaks to you.
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

For Walking Stick/Cane, The Love Of NatureMy father-in-law's birthday was fastly approaching and I felt as if I couldn't come up with gift idea that was equally beautiful and useful. Until I stumbled upon Micheal's work. I got lucky! Not only is his work truly stunning, you have the option to pick a "quote" that has meaning to you or to whomever is receiving the gift. How thoughtful is that?! I knew I finally found the perfect gift. Michael was very responsive and timely and just an overall joy to work with.

For Custom walking caneFedEx delivered item to the wrong address even though address on the box was correct. As for the project, cane turned out great. Communication with Mr. Altom was excellent, with us thinking along the same lines when it came to cane stick engravings/carvings. Very professional and optimistic attitude whenever we communicated. I would highly recommend him for future projects and recommend to others. Great working with you Mr. Altom. Richard Chumbley
