The coffin takes away from the walking stick feeling of this, making it seem more like some sort of burial fetish, and throwing the proportions off, since coffins are generally about 6 feet or more tall. This would look more like a walking stick with some other sort of backdrop, and would allow for more appreciation of the effort to create the stick, instead of detracting from it.

Good one, I preffer this entry than the old one, looks more like a cane, not so tribal but a power cane, good luck!

Doooooooooooood
