Project Information
These were a custom request from a lady who has MS and walks with a forearm crutch. Right now she only needs one but we decided a pair would be better so they would match if she needs both in the future.
Both crutches were cut from the same board. I picked the straightest grained one I could find. The cuffs are bent laminated using epoxy and the wood is from the most figured end of the board. I used kidskin for the outer leather on the pads with thicker soft cow leather inside to pad them a little.
One shot of sewing one of the cuffs on. i didn't trust just glue to hold them and this is the sollution I came up with.
The customer is very happy with them. This is one of my better projects to date and was a really rewarding project for me.
