Start with a rod with a square cross section where each side is 2.7716 inches long. From each corner, measure a distance of 0.8118 inches. Cut off the triangular shapes formed at each corner of the square. This will give an octagonal cross section with a 3 inch diameter.

To make a wooden cane, you will need a piece of hardwood, such as oak or maple, that is about 1-1.5 inches in diameter and around 36 inches long. Use a saw to cut the wood to your desired length. Next, sand the wood to smooth out any rough edges. You can also add a finish, such as varnish or stain, to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. Finally, attach a rubber tip to the bottom of the cane to provide traction and prevent slipping.
