How to Decorate a Wood Walking Cane

Alrighty, then. We've got our handle attached. And, we're back outside and back to the angle grinder. Now, I've put another disk on this. This is a finer disk, so it's going to make a little smoother cut. And, I'm just going to grind down this a little bit. Take some of the bark off. And, just kind of do anything I want. We'll start the grinder up. And, what I'm first going to do is just take little bits out. I'm not going to grind for a long time. Because, taking little bits out will gives us more contrast when we grind through the layers of bark. So, here we go with the noise and the dust. That looks pretty good. We're going to sand it a little bit more. And, that should bring out some more of the wood grain. So, now we're going to go our palm held sander with a two-twenty grit. And, gives this a light sanding all over.
