"Family Tree Cane"

 
Here is a cane I completed as a commission for a customer in Tennesee. Hidden within the leaves are the names of each family member. The handle is walnut and the shaft is crape myrtle. The leaves and limbs are relief carved and textured with a pyrographic pen. I have always had problems photgraphing canes, so I made a short video panning up and down the shaft. Here's a link to the video... take a look and let me know if you think it is a good way to present a carving. Thanks for looking!
