The top on the cane is engraved! The image's I cut from a book and stuck to the handle I buffed and feathered away the edges on the images, then re-touched them with colour finally finishing with three coats of clear laquer!

I'll finish this stick with some short text in gold lettering explaining the images. In between the images also written in gold will be the first verse of "The Skye Boat Song" eg: Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing! "onwards" the sailors cry! Carrying the lad that's born to be King over the sea to Skye"
