Where to get wood for a cane?

[Steel Talon]

Hi Doc,

>>I guess she just doesn't get the whole sense of "becoming a Black Belt", not buying one. It's a lot of blood and sweet. Just like making these sticks.<<

+1 to that, and lets not forget, lacerations, broken toes, broken noses', black eyes, hyper flexed joints, dislocates, and the constant aroma of Tiger Balm and White lotus in the dojo

Peace

Amen to those!

Amen to those and more! The sadest part is, neither you, I nor any other instructor/Black Belt would trade it for the world. It is simply who we became.

Sorry but I can no longer avoid it. You can get wood for a cane from a tree. Now that that is done. Isn't hickory the wood used to make bowling pins. I've seen some hot loads shot into those pins and not make it out the other side.

The black ribbon is was awarded to me by Grand Master H.U. Lee in the summer of 1984, when I completed National Instructor's camp for the ATA. It is the same ribbon he awarded me when he asked that I sell my TKD school in Michigan and come to Little Rock to manage the Nat'l Headquarters there. Obviously, I hold that ribbon in extreme value.
