    My parents commissioned a good friend of theirs to make me a walking stick for my birthday. He spent a lot of time with me to determine what I'd like, and then designed and created this cromach for me. We picked it up on Sunday.









    And the happy new owner!




    The cromach is made from a single piece of maple. The cat is a cat-a-mountain guardant proper; the maker used my cap badge on my glengarry as the model. He put a huge amount of work into this. I'm extremely happy with my new cromach!

    That is absolutely magnificent! A bit lengthy for the flight to Scotland next summer, perhaps but whatan incredible b'day gift.
