I tried this a couple of years ago with no luck, but I'll try again anyway. I looking for a slab or 2 of any suitable material to make a cane handle out of. The slab would need to be approximately 3" by 6" by 1.5". I want to make myself a cane with something besides my normal wooden handles, something a little more distinctive. I only have a trim saw so I can't cut a suitable slab myself. I would prefer some type of agate, but I'll take anything with suitable stability for a cane handle. If you can fill my request let me know the material and cost.

Any particular colors you are looking for to go with the wood?
