Whiskey and Rye

Whiskey and Rye

My newest canes are brothers, related but not identical. Whiskey and Rye and very handsome with checkerboards of American Walnut and African Padauk respectively. These two will more than likely be offered up for sale at the upcoming craft fair at the Harrison County Hospital in November.


Whiskey

Whiskey is made from Maple and American Walnut. It is highly polished and quite striking in appearance. The checkerboard pattern is made of 3/4" pieces, the largest I have tried so far and I think it turned out pretty nicely.


Rye

Rye is a little different, with Maple at the top and American Walnut at the bottom, there is a detail of African Padauk and Maple. I really like the red of the African Padauk, it adds color and impact to the piece.
