[Woodcarver] Veterans' Eagle Head Cane Project

[Donna Menke]

Bev-
The idea is to keep the canes similar to one another- though by different carvers. That way nobody gets a 'better' cane. Makes sense to me, though I understand the opposite viewpoint also.
I didn't make the decision- I just followed the rules so that someone would get the cane.
No matter how it is handled- it is a good program.

I gotta ask -



You said the cane had the basket weave patter - "which is not allowed in Texas" . . . . I'm confused?  Why would a basket weave pattern be outlawed in a state???

I was very proud last night to see that one of the military men in attendance at 
the President's State of the Union Address was holding one of 'OUR' canes. I 
could hardly believe my eyes. There was no doubt that it was the very same 
design that many carvers all over the States have been carving for our wounded 
soldiers. That one seemed to have a basket-weave pattern on the shaft- which is 
not allowed in Texas- but it could just as well have been the one I made, and I 
was proud that it was on display for the world to see.

These are links to web sites about the project- but I think most states must 
have coordinators for each place. There isn't much anyone can do nowadays for 
problems in this world, but this seems to be a project all good carvers can do 
to tell our military men and women that we appreciate their sacrifice.
