These gentlemen in Ukraine are artists of the forest
These guys are master craftsmen, and artists really. What first attracted me was the pewter-like metal they used for the handle (how cold they looked against the winter wood), and the thickness of the shaft. When I changed my mind on one of the canes, they generously paid the return fees (to Ukraine!!!), and I wound up buying two more canes from them. And I'm not done because they keep creating designs! In addition, these artists of wood are friendly, and will communicate with you: two of the three canes wound up being custom made: a golden lion's head on a more yellow-stained wood (cliche, I know, but that's what I wanted and it looks great!), and the gold and silver Irish crow's head on natural colored wood (pictured above) that they said that Alex said he had never done before but liked it, and would welcome other suggestions. These canes are totally distinct from anything I have, or have seen, and I could not be happier. Thank you, my friend(s)."
