7839 Gedar Rd.

Chesterland, OH 44026C

Mr. Palatnik, your excellent piece of art arrived as committed. I can't express how satisfied I feel with the quality of your "Tiger" walking stick. Immediately when I took it in my hands there was a strange link connection with it. Although not in the need of one, I collect canes as a hobby and this is the best one I have; so far.

It is not only the perfect balance of the cane's overall design, but the grace of the handle's grip is second to none. I'm totally pleased with this purchase and look forward to add more of your art to my collection in the future. Also, thank you much for your quick delivery as well as using the United States Postal Service; best courier you could've possibly selected.

Sincerely,

Joe Bejar, Architect/Eng.

Boris,

Your work is truly art. Thank you for making our Christmas very special. Your cougar with rosewood cane is now treasured by someone who also is an artisan. When he opened the gift, his eyes glowed and he said, "this is a jewel".

Best wishes to you and your family for Health and Artistic Happiness in 2008.

With great appreciation,
C Bognar

Dear Boris,

I'm sorry this email is a little late in coming, but I did received the cane and it's a beautiful piece of art. Well done!

Sincerely,

Nels

Boris,
I got the cane sword today... it is beautiful!!! I will write to let you know what David says when he get's it!!
Thanks again!

Dear Boris,

My wolf head cane arrived the other day. I was very excited to see the package when I came home. The first time I visited your site and read customer testimonials, most were from people who had purchased them as collectables and not as assistance devices. Mine is for daily use. After reading about how they were constructed and speaking to you, I felt fairly confident that they were more than up to this practical task.

When I opened the box I was surprised at first due to the unexpected finish of the African Ebony. I knew that we’d agreed upon this, but for some reason I was still envisioning the rosewood. I was however not the least bit disappointed. The cane is an extremely beautiful work of art. I’ve had the opportunity to walk a few times with my new cane and was very pleased.

It definitely seems more than adequate for my 300 lbs. I was surprised at how sturdy it really is.

The 39” length is perfect and after a couple of walks the Wolf head handle has become quite comfortable. I haven’t had the need to rap any unfriendly dogs on the snot yet, but I am confident that it will hold up nicely.

The only problem with it is that it’s so beautiful I’m almost afraid to use it, but I know it will last a lifetime and with a little maintenance and should look just as good as it does now. Once again thanks Boris. You are a true artisan.

Sincerely,

Scott Hill

Dear Mr Palatnik

The "Cougar" cane arrived today as promised. I am now the proud owner of five of your canes, all silver and ebony, and all superlative works of art. The Cougar, once again, is a masterwork of unique design and aesthetic line. Congratulations on a wonderful achievement. My problem now is which cane for which day. Obviously, I will have to save-up to buy two more of your creations so that each day of the week will be covered and I will be relieved of lengthy indecision and lost time.

Thank you again for all the pleasure you have provided through your art.

G. Wright

Dear Mr. Palatnik,

I would like to take the time to thank you again for great workmanship that you put into the three Wolf walking sticks that I purchased from you at the beginning of last year. They have & still are serving my needs very well. I have several people admire them because of their uniqueness.

I did name each one of them after my three Siberian Husky's!

Thanks again, Brian McDougle

Dear Mr. Palatnik,

I just wanted to thank you for the two walking sticks that I have purchased
from you. They are beautiful works of functional art. Every time I use one
of them, I receive more and more compliments. I'm looking forward to
ordering my next piece. They have a wonderful balance, and the silver work
is superb. The fit in my hands is amazingly comfortable. I originally
purchased them just to collect, but I just can't help taking them out and
using them to walk with.

Thank you very much.

Dear Mr. Palatnik,

I am writing to tell you how much my husband appreciates the beautiful cane you made for him in December. It was ordered as a Christmas gift - he had admired your work for some time and I thought it was his turn to own one of your pieces. Thank you for the time you put into this work of art - it will be a treasure for years to come.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Porter

We received the WS and refund yesterday. The WS is just perfect. Thank you and thank you for getting it here for our trip.

Dear Boris,

I have received my most fabulous piece of art work ever, the precision craftsmanship and balance of every detail is most exquisite, I have never been so happy to receive an item bought that has come in ten times its beauty then pictured on the web, Boris I truly believe that the good Lord has gifted you with the talent of monsignor for sure a Picasso, working with the precision and harmony as the Maestro, Monsignor, Mechanic of the cane producer, thank you for a gift rather then a purchase for I believe that you have given me a gift, where I am at this time in my life!!! has given me a birds eye view of the beauty that is out there and the wonderful people you can come across in this very short life time, thank you once more for the wonderful experience of "COUGAR IN THE TREE"

Thanks - received it the other day, and it looks great! I wish I had ordered the sword option.

Tom Hill

Hi Boris,

I've just received my WS cougar and it is beautiful! What a fine art! Thank you so much for the extra tips.

I also have a question. I bought a lioness from you last year. It looks great, but here in Florida there is lots of humidity and from my hand the wood, rosewood, around the lioness, it got a little dull. What can I use on the wood to bring the "shine" back. It is not a real shine, but get the "life" back into it, so it looks like new?

Thanks again

Amanda Devine

I just wanted to send you a short note to tell you how impressed I am with the workmanship on the cane I ordered. The Sterling silver and Gold finish on the Cougar Can is even more impressive than on the photos on your web site. I get a lot of compliments from strangers who stop to admire it. I look forward to many years of pleasure using it and want to thank you again.

Jeff Nachman

Dear Boris:

I have just received my cane, and it is a fantastic thing. When I received it, I was at the Post Office. The place was full of people; and, since the package was damaged, I insisted on opening it right there. The postal employees and the others who were there for mail, were treated to a complete review of my cane, as well as a critique of your art work. Your work received a lot of raves.

Thank you so much, Boris.

Best regards, Don Belveal

Boris,

I received my #135 Grapes walking stick today. The quality and workmanship of the product is exceptional. It will be a pleasure to use this cane for many years.

Sincerely,

Michael Cardona

My lioness field stick arrived yesterday, Monday. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

I took it for a two hour hike in the mountains today. It performed
perfectly.

It was well worth the wait. Thanks.

John O.

Hi Boris -

Cane got here fine! It's really outstanding - and fits my hand fine!

Thanks for the great job.

Stay well.

Hi,

I've just received a phone call from my grandfather in South Korea, and he said that he loves the lily cane! Thank you for the beautiful work!

Best regards,

Hye Na Park

Boris,

I received the canes/staff. They are very nice. Thanks.

What is the best price you can give me on ordering two more.

I am interested in the two tone cougar cane for my wife who is ~ 5'7" tall #132SE with 16" sword, ebony. I would want one mid section like you made for the two I ordered already. But this mid section would convert the cane to a staff for a person 5'7" tall. I would want the sections we have already received to work on this cane/shaft. I would also want a bear staff for a person 5'7" tall. This would also have a 16" sword, 230SE#231SE, ebony. Again this would need to be compatible with the all the others. I would also like to know how much it would cost to get an additional 230SE#231SE bull, ebony, 16" sword section only.

Will the release mechanisms get loose over time? What should I use on the ebony wood to clean or protect it? What about the sterling silver?

Larry Sherrer

Dear Boris:

I received my walking stick this morning. The package was damaged; but there was no damage to the walking stick. It is beautiful! You are indeed a fantastic artist!!!! I am completely pleased with it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! My very best regards! Don

Just got my cane.One word .Outstanding! I have a small collection of sword canes that will be my next one . Thanks Jim

Mr. Palatnik --

The walking stick was delivered yesterday, and it is MAGNIFICENT!

Thank you very much for your beautiful work, and I'm pretty sure I will
be ordering a couple more of them before Christmas.

-- Greg

Dear Sir: Recently I received two beautiful deer antler-topped walking sticks. I would like to display these items on the wall of my dining room. What I have in mind is an arrangement whereby the two sticks are affixed to the wall parallel to one another and horizontally arranged. I have searched the web for some type of device that will securely hold these items but yet allow them to be removed from time to time for cleaning (and closer inspection by guests). I noticed your beautiful sticks on the web and I thought that you might have some idea as to where I might obtain the type of wall mount to which I am referring. Might I prevail upon you for some help? Thanking you in advance I am Dawn Ruoff

Hi Boris,

The walking stick was finally released from the UK Customs last Thursday and delivered on Saturday.

I would just like to say that the walking stick is just perfect, the frog adds a nice dimension to a well balanced walking stick.
My wife was absolutely delighted with the walking stick and the size was spot on, she asked me to send her thanks to you for such a beautiful walking stick.

Once again thanks.

Kind regards

Trevor

Boris,

The cane was delivered today and I was thrilled. Let's work toward another one for my collection. I like the aligator/rosewood/round staff cane. Could you help me to remember the overall length for the elelphant cane? I might go a half inch shorter. I'm also interested in a quotational breakdown to add the 16 inch sword and conversion to the alligator.

I'm very appreciative of your work,

Lee

Hi Boris,

The WS arrived today and I am very pleased. You do really nice work. Could I buy a couple of extra rubber tips...they are quite unique so I thought I should try and get them from you ? Also, should I coat the blade with a thin film of oil or vaseline to avoid rust ?

Thank you,

Boris Dennis Crouch here. I received my cane and you did a great job thanks.

Have a happy Fathers Day

Denny

Dear Boris:

I received the order with the 5 sword canes, 2 blades and the rubber tips satisfactory. Thank you. Are really beatiful. Greetings Alfredo Martinez.

Hi
Just wanted to say that the "echo"stick is so beautiful and the handle gives
you an exellent support.
I feel stylish and proud to use it in everyday life.
Best Tommie Haglund

Dear Sir, Just wanted you to know that my WS came yesterday & again I am extremely pleased. I made a wall mount that holds my 3 WS when not using them - these I only use when I go out of the house. Again I thank you for your fine works of art.

Your friend, Brian

Mr. Palatnik

I received the cane yesterday. Thank you for making it for me so quickly. The balance, quality and materials are excellent.

Dear Boris,

Thank you! My father's gift arrived yesterday (for presentation in a few days during his surprise birthday luncheon) and your Cougar

on The Tree Cane is more magnificent than anticipated. I know he will be very pleased and I can't thank you enough for your

excellent response. Sincerely, Sharon

Dear Boris,

I received my new cougar-handled cane a few days ago. It
hasn't been out of my hand since. You are a fine artist
as well as a master craftsman.

The lion was my favorite of your designs. I took a big
tom out in New Mexico a couple of years ago after a week
long hunt. They are awesome creatures.

I can't wait to show my best friend: he's a Penn State
graduate who's mascot is the Nittany Lion. He'll want
one!

By the way, do you recommend any particular maintenance or
care for the wood or silver?

Sincerely,
John Lunsford MD

Happy New Year!
I got my new stick a few days ago and I must say...it is the finest stick I have ever seen and the best one I now own! The balance is incredible and the cougar figurine is just beautful! This stick has become my constant companion, one that I hope will be with me for many years to come!
Thanks again..your work is truly wonderful!

Dear Mr. Palatnik,

I just received my stunning Sterling Silver Lion Head Ebony walking stick. WOW!!!! Its worth every penny. I’m thoroughly impressed with it in every regard. It’s a piece of art in my opinion. The quality and craftsmanship are beyond compare. I searched long and hard for a product like this and what I received from you is nothing short of a piece of art! I’m so very happy with it I could almost burst. Lots of places will sell you a pre made walking stick or cane but you made mine special order and that makes it unique to say the least. I feel quite privileged to be in possession of such a fine accoutrement. Thank you very much Mr. Palatnik for your craftsmanship and attention to detail and especially your customer service. I’ll certainly pass along your name to any and all who inquire about my fine walking stick.

Sincerely,

Richard Ramjattan.

Ps. Feel free to post my comments in your testimonial section should you choose to do so.

i just received the silver and ebony walking stick you made for me. it is beautiful, and i could not be more delighted with it. thank you

Hi Boris -

Cane arrived today!! Now this is a true work of art!! Can't think of words to describe how

much I like this cane! I want to say "thank you" for sharing your talent.

Have a great day.

Best Regards,

Hello Boris:

I hope that all is well with you and you family. I have absolutely loved my walking stick and get many compliments. People are asking me if it will be available on your website and I do not know what to tell them.

Please let me know so that I can at least publicize your talents in my area of the country.

My Best To You And Your Family Boris,

Bob

Thank you for the great pics.you are very talented .I myself do painting conservation and restoration,But I love to begin making enameling ,gold and silver work .A dear friend of mine from the country of Georgia is very talented at this and wood carving,he is going to work on a very famous crucifix soon.

I like the cane in the middle of the three you should me. I will talk it over with my sister,the hook on the back of the handle would make it easier for mother to grip.

Thank you again,Look forward to talking with you,

Dear Boris,

My "Cougar on the Tree" walking stick arrived today and I want to tell you how extremely pleased I am with it. Your work is phenomenal. The sterling handle casting with the gold plating accent is spectacular. The shaft finish retains the natural beauty of the Rosewood. You are a great artist!

Dear Mr. Palantnik,

The sword cane arrived in the mail today. Thank you for finishing it and sending it promptly.

It is beautiful. I am so happy to have it. You did an excellent job and I just wanted you to know it came in good condition and your work is first rate.

Thank you so much.

Jimmy Walker

Mr. Palatnik,

Thank you so much for fashioning the Taurus for me.
It is a beautiful piece of work. It is functional,
stylish, and a pleasure to hold. I know that on your
site you stated that you use a beeswax finish on your
walking sticks. If I wish to renew the finish, what
should I use? Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Mathew Severson

Mr. Palatnik,

The cane arrived today. What a truly beautiful work of art! The craftsmanship is admired by all who’ve seen it! Seldom have I been so pleased as when I admired the cane for the first time. I was truly awe struck as it emerged from the shipping container.

I am interested in purchasing the “jaguar” in about three months. As per the cost, what would the fee be for; the cane shaft in the same solid black ebony, the jaguar in sterling and the handle in gold plating? Do you offer solid, pure, silver on the jaguar?

V/R SSgt Lower

My father just received the ebony cane with the sterling silver cougar. He said it was absolutely beautiful and he loved it!! He does not like having to use a cane but with this one, it will be a much nicer experience for him. Your workmanship is excellent and I can't wait to see it. Thank you very much. Lynne Lovinger

Hello Boris:

A few minutes ago the postman came and delivered to me my two beautiful walking sticks that you made. I cannot explain how beautiful they are and how much I appreciate your hard and dedicated work in providing to me the walking stick that I requested. I hope that now that you have a mold for the crucifix that maybe more individuals will enjoy it as well. You are truly blessed and have a wonderful talent.

My best to you always Boris. Again many thanks.

God Bless You,

Bob

Hello, Boris. The walking stick arrived this afternoon. It is so beautifully crafted, and the length fits me just fine. I'm very pleased with it. Thank you. Mort Berenstein.

Hello Boris:

The cane is beautiful. I will leave the decision of the gold tones to you as you are a very talented artist and I trust your decision. I hope that you will have future orders for this crest as you have done an exceptional job.

Is the length of the cane 38 or 39"? Either will be fine.

Also, you have a gold and silver toned cougar can on your website. I would like that as well on ebony with a sword handle in either a 38 or 39" lenth. Is that available?

Let me know the total that I would owe you on both and I will get it sent to you.

My Best To You Boris. It has been a pleasure working with you.

Bob

Dear Boris,
'Cougar in tree' arrived and is beyond my expectation. It is without doubt a
wonderful work of art and when not in use it rests in pride of place in our
hallstand to be admired by all who visit us. In fact one of my
granddaughters (15 yrs) is taking it to school next week to show her class.
Thank you Boris - I shall treasure it always.

Dear Boris,

Greetings. The cane arrived and it is beautiful.
I was curious where did you learn your craft?

Mr. Palatnik,

This is Akira Hirashima in Japan.

Your walking stick(butterfly) is arrived last Sunday.
I am surprised because its arrival is earlier than I expected.

It is very beautiful. More beautiful than I saw on your web page.
Holding is very easy. I love it and cherish it.

Thank you very much.

This is a piece of craftsmanship that will grace my side for long years, and I

I short, I will certainly recommend your work to any who admire this fine cane.

Dear Mr Palatnik

Have just received “ The Tiger” cane. As the proud owner of the Lion, the Lioness and the Wolf I had high expectations and was not disappointed. The Tiger is a masterpiece of form and function; beautiful to he eye, balanced to the hand and a pleasure to use. My compliments on your artistry and skill. Thank you. Sincerely, Garth Wright.

My Dear Mr Palatnik~

my name is Frankie Knuckles. I received one of your canes (The Egyptian Lion) from my brother, Frederick Dunson. I want you to know how thrilled I am to have it.

Your artistry and craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite. Brilliant! Magnificent! And i'm so proud to own it.

As a collector of art (on a small but, pure level), I love being able to add your cane to my collection. i'm almost afraid to use it on a daily basis. But the artistry and craftsmanship is so beautiful, i'd be a fool to not carry it for all the world to see.

Many, many thanks. It's nice to know that someone of your brilliance still exist in this otherwise crazy and sometimes ugly world we live in today. I'll be in touch.

Frankie Knuckles

ps~ If you have a recent picture and a bio of yourself, I would love to read and learn more about you. Again, many thanks.

Dear, Mr. Palatnik
