looking for inspiration...

this old walking stick has always lived in a corner in my parents house and i remember it once had a cheeky wee nip flask under the handle, but although the glass vial was broken long ago its still a wonderful piece of history
the handle unscrews...

...to reveal a cork beneath the lid

the edges of the hollow bamboo have been shaped at the top to hold the glass vial

a fine example of a worn, brass ferrule
