I cut a piece of hickory to a tall taper, then shaped the handle. I went ahead and added a nice twist. I wanted a leather strap, so I got that accomplish as well.
Overall it is 56 inches tall and 7/8th of an inch thick.
I finished it with shellac with 2 coats of poly on top of that.
All and all, I am very happy with it.
My daughter wanted a leather strap added to hers as well.
Now they stay by the front door, ready to be used when we head out walk for a walk.

Steve, I did not think it was hard to work with. The 60″ rip cut by hand did go slower than pine(lol), but I have a great rip saw, so it was not that bad.
The planes, spokeshave, and card scraper cut like butter.
I am going to be working on making a long board with my teenage daughter this weekend. I have bought hickory and mahogany for that project. So I can comment more in the up coming weeks.
