    Shanks for walking sticks??????????

    I have just ordered 2 walking stick heads and am on the lookout for shanks to complete these. I was hoping to find some here in the states but the only supplier I knew of was kevinscustomcanes.com and they seem to have vanished.

    Does anyone else have a source in the states for straightened shanks or possibly a way to contact the owner of kevinscustom canes.

    I am hoping to have this project done by October.

    Harold, you might also contact Highland Horn at Avoch on the Black Isle. They have shanks in all sorts of woods.
