Let Your Cane Tell a Story
Cane toppers can be carved to show a favorite item, hobby, or occupation. They can also tell a story. This cane topper pattern shows the story of a large fish, being hugged by a turtle, swallowing a medium fish that is being hugged by a frog and is swallowing a small gator that is eating a mouse. Thus its name “Food Chain”.
