Excellent work,, Curt I have made a few canes ( for myself and I do not need one ) however when roaming about farm land I always take one and have done for many years. Folk who really do, need walking canes seem to use folding alloy ones ------- pretty coloured !!!???
I am wondering if the normal router could be used subject to having a *depth control follower*. No doubt it would be best to remove the plunge control springs!! Then use the gears to control the spiral /curves The member who asked the original question does not say the diameter or depth.length of his bowl or even if he wants to copy one already made. If a copy, then that may be a different matter.
