Native carver crafts heirloom canes in Wilmington scene
Bryant Shephard, a Maple Hill native and retired Air Force veteran, carves walking canes from knives and rasps in his garage workshop. He draws inspiration from God, finishing pieces only after a vision prods his morning work. His rattlesnake handle cane, a 60 hour project, draws on a magazine image and a co-worker’s faith in his skill. He has given away about 60 canes, while offering custom pieces starting at 70 dollars for simple designs and 150 dollars for fancier ones.
