I picked up two brass inlaid hardwood walking sticks made in India at TJ Maxx for $20 a couple of years ago. One lacked a handle and the other was adorned with a brass jockey's head. I took them home (discarding the ugly brass top of the second cane) and drilled a hole into the shaft. I then cleaned, sanded, and polished two deer antler coronas. After a little shaping to get them to sit nicely inside the brass fitting I drilled a hole in the antler pieces. Using two part epoxy I attached the pieces together with a stong bolt for strength.
When the epoxy cured I had one nice stick for a kilted gentleman and a swell Christmas present for his Dad.
Far more interesing was the walking stick I made for my wife's step-mother out of a twisted ficus house plant... 
Cheers
Jamie
