brass walking stick handle

[donwatson]

Hi All,
I made a friend a walking stick some time ago. It had a brass handle and a brass spigot/joint in the middle of the Oak stick with a rubber cover at the bottom that you took off to show a brass point which was a help in winter weather.
I want to make another but I can't find a stockist. I thought Axminster supplied the original but no luck there, a 2016 catalogue from Turners Retreat/Craft Supplies shows a similar head but they no longer supply them. The original head screwed off to reveal a small vial that could be filled with your favourite tipple.
Anyone have a clue where I may pick one up ??

Hi try a Google search for "Tippling Cane" and see if anything there helps you out... although they all seem to be from what I can see already made?

But maybe the parts are removable to add to one you make??

I am supposed to use a stick but yesterday I bought a disability traveller that comes apart and fits in the car boot. Took it for a test drive around our cavernous nearby shopping mall, good fun and a marvellous aid for me.

Hi Don

We have a section in the club that make sticks of all kinds and the tutor has never heard of brass heads ??
I have seen finished sticks on fleabay and they look crap. [MENTION=120]Neil[/MENTION], that is the one . I will contact them immediately.
Thanks a lot guys it looks like my problem is sorted.

take care
