best canes yet

as part of the challenge i have set out for myself to make cane cups for a year it obviously requires me to make canes. as i explained previously making twisty cane can be tricky. you need to keep turning until your arms want to fall off in order to get a good twist. these canes here are the best ones i have made yet. they are the best canes yet because they have a nice and even twist through the whole length of the cane and a nice even thickness.



the canes on the left are white and black twisted canes in two layers. the canes on the right are a cheeky colour combo of yellow white and grey twisty ribbon cane.



you can see in this images the cane on the left is not twisted, but a collection of many small white vertical lines. it is one of my favorite canes to make as it is easy on my arms, requiring no twist and produces some amazing optical effects when it is seen in real life.

i will make some cups with these canes soon in the weeks to come.

I like the white stripey one too. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
