Here's a lovely piece I did for a friend. Walking sticks, canes and staffs are a particularely fun challenge as each one is completely unique to the individual receiving it...

Every detail is hand carved and pyrographed from the top of the staff to the natural, relaxed hand-hold-height  of the recipient. The 'grip' can be wrapped with leather, and inlaid details (such as semi-precious stones/metal etc.) are sometimes added. Laquered for durability, each one is a fully functional work of art, that I hope can be enjoyed for many years...
