Military — The Dusty Carpenter

Military Items

Staying true to the origins of the business we still work closely with military personnel, both current and ex-serving members, to provide custom pieces of work. This includes a range of ceremonial items such as swagger sticks or drills canes, presentations such as custom engraved coin stands, and memorabilia.

Drill Canes

Pricing for drill canes begin at $150 sourced from wood such as Rimu. To upgrade the material to exotic wood such as Purple Heart or Jarrah, an additional cost of $50 will be applied. You will also have an option to choose between chromed or brass ends.

We also offer drill cane customisation to meet your specific needs, so please let us know if you have a design in mind. Some examples include laminated timber, wrapping Corps belts around the cane, and hand carved twists in the design. For a quote, please discuss your ideas with us.

Swagger Sticks

Officers use swagger sticks instead of drill canes. They are thinner, shorter, and often have matching ends. These begin at $150 for a Rimu cane and can be upgraded to a more exotic wood for an additional $50.

Again, we able to offer customisation of your swagger stick to meet your specific needs, so please let us know if you have a design in mind. Some examples include the use of various flash suppressors, different types of timber laminated together, and hand carved twists in the design. Discuss your ideas with us for a quote.

Display Stands

Display stands are an excellent way to show off your handcrafted drill cane or swagger stick while also keeping it safe and secure. Stands begin at $120 and can be upgraded to exotic wood for an additional $60. Each stand will include a personalised engraving that can include quotes, badges or emblems, and regimental details.

Display stands are one of the best items to customise. They provide an excellent opportunity to incorporate display slots, badges, inlay coins, or use various designs and materials, such as deer antlers as drill cane holding brackets.

Coin Displays

We offer two types of coin holders. The first holder features brass casings inlaid into a standing display on which coins can be rested, starting at $150. The second holder, starting at $120, is a laser-engraved display with coin slots cut into it.

Coin holders are a great way to display your collection and allow you to pull them out from the drawer. We can customise them to your specifications and make them in any size you require.
