I have never used this item but considering the quality of previously ordered items I have no doubt that it is the quality that I expect.

whats the best way to thread the wood shaft?
BEST ANSWER: You do not thread the shaft. The collar is meant to be screwed onto the shaft, we had to carefully sand-down the wood-shaft to the point of being able to screw the brass firmly onto the wood. We also filled the threaded brass with a high quality wood glue, it oozed a bit, but we cleaned it up, and after 24 hours we had a completed, good looking and fully functional Cane. Hope this helps. (We used an upright adjustable belt type sander to reduce shaft size to make the brass collar fit.

Could I use a 1" walnut dowel for the cane shaft?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, just adjust the length and decrease the width to fit inside the brass as the brass has an out side diameter of about one inch. Have made canes from the oak, walnut and cherry. Have received the highest compliments on the cherry

I have an existing cane, and want to change the handle. The brass collar that screws onto the eagle styled handle does not match the 'Brass Cane Hardware' I purchased. I need a brass piece that will screw into the eagle collar that can be affixed to the cane shaft. I assumed these canes used a common technology, but clearly they do not. The existing cane shaft has a ⅜" fine threaded rod that is threaded and glued into the wood shaft, and can not be removed. The obvious solution would be to find a brass fitting that screwed into the collar that attaches to the handle on one end, with a female receptacle on the other end, mating both handle and shaft together. Any ideas on how to fix this?
BEST ANSWER: A possible solution would be to cut the end with the screw attached to existing cane shaft then follow the directions precisely to add new handle if any length difference it might be made up on the bottom of cane. As I stated this is a possible solution. Good luck. John

Nice detail on the eagle head, no casting lines. Threads were pristine and without flash.The package arrived within four days of ordering. I'd ordered a number of things on the same day, but this beat their arrival by nearly a week! I hand carved the stick and added three coats of gloss black. Any 19th century gentleman would have been proud to own this cane.

I used the Oval Handle on a 130 year old Ebony Cane that had a leather handle that had become lost. I was able to mount the cane on my lathe and cut a tenon on the handle end. I was lucky the cane and handle were the same size and it looks like they were made for each other. High quality.

Looks great
I used solid walnut for my cane shaft. I don't have a lathe so after I cut a 1 1/2 inch square piece off a 2 by 8 board, I rounded it with a router, then used a benchtop sander to refine it. I waited until the cane head arrived to sand to the final size. After staining and polyurethane, I screwed the head onto the top of the shaft, cut to length, and added a cane tip. People who see it simply cannot believe I made it myself. I did buy the hardware set as well, but I didn't use it will probably return it, or keep it for a future cane. I'm sure the kit is fine, just not for this project.

Guys!!! I took this Eagle head to [local home center], & it screwed onto the threaded end of a piece of 7/8 black waterpipe, like it was born there! Took a 4 ft length of that home, cut it down, sanded & sprayed it gloss black, popped a rubber cane tip on the other end, & now I have a generic looking Trojan Horse walking stick, For less than $25!

I hand carve very unique walking sticks and hiking staffs. I purchased two of Rockler's Brass cane heads and attached them to pieces of highly carved Teak Wood. They're beautiful, very fine quality, and added an very high touch of class to the pieces. Shipping was fast and after dealing with other companies for over 30 years, Rockler is now my choice for not only cane heads, but all my hardward needs.
