The cane in the picture is 1.5 in dia. by 32" long. Done with a barley twist with along spiral. I used a 1" barley bit set for a 4" bit twist so it would not have a lot of spring. I then cut thru wiht a .375 Dia end mill. >>> I made the carrier from 1/2 Baltic Birch with reinforced corners. I cut the adjustment slots on my Artisan mill. The white plastic is HDPE.

I cut small V in the Plastic to hold the part and have 1.25 in spacing between the blocks. This allowed me to cut with the 1" barley twist bit while still supporting the Cane. I provides both lateral and vertical support. >>> Please excuse the quality of the picture.
