Walking Cane maker in TN?

[graycrait]

Has anyone seen any folks who makes and sells walking canes (not staffs) in Middle Tennessee.  I'm not talking about fellas making saw handle or gun handle cane handles out of plywood for the flea markets, but nice useful walking canes that are unique or look really nice.

You been hitting all the antique stores Craig?

I occasionally hit antique/flea market stores but I have been making & collecting canes and staffs for years.  I bet I have given away 4 or 5 dozen.  I just wanted to see if someone nearby was making any commercially that I could take a look at.  

 

I have another friend who must operate daily with a cane and was looking at options for him.  

 

Just in case, these websites have some interesting canes:

If you are ever around Gburg, take Cosby Hwy towards Newport. There is a guy here (Cosby) that makes, mostly, walking sticks for the tourist hikers. He is usually set up on the side of the highway but did have a storefront by the post office. I would bet he has a steambox for making canes as well. He not only makes them here in TN but collects the wood himself...so I assume it is coming from around here as well. I got my uncle one of the walking sticks a couple of years ago and he has gotten some good use out of it, very high quality.
