Yucca Walking Stick

I bought this out of curiosity. I cleaned the stick by shaving, sanding and finishing. It took tung oil finish and polish very well. Light and strong for the perfect stick. I am going to order more. (Posted on 1/15/11)

The piece of yucca I received was long enough to use 8" of the broader end as a the handle for the rest of the stick. The resulting cane is almost exactly the same as a fancy carbon fiber ultralight cane I recently purchased but has a much nicer appearance than the carbon fiber cane. Easy to work and finish.

Just finished my first Yucca Walking Stick (blank from Treeline). The Yucca was fun to work with and after 'working' the stick and applying a polyurethane finish, it made a great looking walking stick and a nifty conversation piece. (Posted on 10/19/10)

I had total knee replacement surgery in May and I wanted to make my own walking stick for my recovery. I bought a Yucca and a Hickory blank and a brass hame top from Treeline. The Yucca was very light and rigid so I used that. I fit and mounted the hame top and installed a rubber cane tip, put on a little stain (I didn't need to sand the blank) and I was in business. Got a lot of attention and complements.

I purchased a piece of yucca walking stick to make my dad a walking cane. After cutting it down to size and boring a center hole into it, I used a piece of antler (which I got here on this site) to make the handle. It made a very fine looking walking cane to say the least. I even burred down the bur on the antler and mounted a State of Texas Seal concho on the end of it just to dress it up. This is a great piece of wood to work with, very nice just left naturally. Very light weight but at the same time very sturdy. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to try something different. Thanks!!! J.D. (Posted on 3/1/10)
