My wife gave a couple of walking sticks I made to some residents of a local retirement home that regularly shop where she works. Apparently that excited some jealousy in the other residents, so I was pressed into service to make another. The pointy tip of the Pallares was excellent at stripping the bark off the contours of the handle part.

(2 pieces of beech, with a black locust spacer)

I screwed a long lag bolt into the bottom piece, then cut off the bolt head and unthreaded part of the protruding shank, and screwed the handle onto the remaining exposed threaded part. Everything lined up surprisingly well, and it’s rock solid.
