[Woodcarver] Canes for Service Men and Women

[ashhickory at verizon.net]

Dear Carving Friends
  Carving canes for our troops has become a club and also individual project, across our nation. I think that is wonderful. However there seems to be a lot of controversy as to what is the correct carving format or allowable features incorporated in each cane.
  Does any one have a copy of the "Cane Standard' or "Regulations" as to what is allowed or not allowed, etc.?
  Why is it a problem to just do a great cane and donate it to some deserving man or woman "Troop" who could benefit from its use, in a small gesture of our appreciation?
  If anyone has, or knows of this standard, would they please share it with me?
  I belong to two (2) carving clubs and the information would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you very much, Sincerely  Bob Muller,  Pawling NY   a/k/a AshHickory at verizon.net
