Good afternoon, Tony!
It is now 5 months since I shattered my kneecap and I will be going into surgery tomorrow for a little fine tuning. I would not have made it through the last 5 months without the aid of your marvelous canes. When I was first injured I purchased a one-piece dogwood bark cane which was capable of bearing nearly 100 pounds more than I expected to put on it. Subsequently, I purchased a diamond willow cane sith a naturally-shed antler handle as my "dress" cane for business and formal occasions. Most recently I purchased a unique apple cane with an ergonomic mahogany handle. It has now turned into my workhorse cane throughout my recovery and rehabilitation. For those of us going through a rough patch during the course of our rehabilitation we have developed a dependence upon your products and derive both strength and confidence in their durability and fashionability. Throughout my rehabilitation I could have survived without your products but it would not have been either as pleasurable or as much fun
Sincerely,
Christopher K

HERE IS MY VERY LATEST TESTIMONIAL FROM A PASTOR JESS WHOM I DONATED 3 STICKS TO. . .
Wow! Thank you very much for the 3 canes. I know I said I would sell them here to use the money for bibles but after seeing them I know exactly what to do. They are just the right size for two elderly women I know in separate churches and I know they are in need of a cane, so with your permission I would like to give a cane to each of them. I know God gets all the Praise & Glory but I will let them know that they were custom made by you for them. Thanks again Tony & God bless you for your help.
PS not only are your canes works of art but also an instrument in helping someone to move around safely. I can’t thank you enough.

Hi Tony,
I just wanted to let you know we received the Betty Boop walking stick on Thursday and my Mom began using it that evening. The true test was her taking it to the mall with her on Friday to meet friends. She said it helped tremendously and she wasn’t nearly as sore when she came home. She loves showing it off and has been taking it with her everywhere. J All her friends want to know where she found such a cute cane. It’s quite a show-piece for her. I’m not sure how I can thank you or tell you how much it means to me that she is happy to use the walking stick and that she is in less pain after her little outings. Plus I don’t worry as much about her losing her balance and falling. And, of course, thank you for sending it out so quickly. You’re a wonderful man that is improving the quality of life for many people, not only those that use your beautiful walking sticks but for their families that care for them as well. Thank you!!!Beth Blase & family
