The following are the parts and a few tips for making rotary walking sticks.
They are first rounded and desired profile shapes cut.
I use a 1.5mm ball-nose solid carbide 3-flute spiral bit, single pass (no roughing), 0.23" deep.

I just did a small Labrador on the rotary and thought about making it as the top for a walking stick. Thanks for the info Dale.

It looks great and I love the idea of adding a tiny shoe to the stick, I bet you get lots of comments from people you meet on the hiking trails.

Dog would make a great stick or cane topper. If you want a wrist strap you could mount it under the dog, perhaps with a double ended lag screw.
I've made and donated over 100 walking sticks all with a shoe. Lots of comments about comments received by the stick owners.
