I was commissioned to do 8 of these. They are made from Peruvian walnut( laminated 5 Ply for strength ) and scrolled, then attached to a 37" tapered Mahogany shaft with a brass tip. I used my bandsaw jig to taper the shafts then turned the round knob and attached together with a dowel pin and 2 part epoxy. Finished with 5 coats of wipe-on poly. These have a specific purpose and name.What is it?

Not a pool cue

the tip is a clue. It could be a walking stick. It also looks like the end of an umbrella but with the nice top to it it is more like a coat of arms for a family or a private club.

To me it looks like $$$$$. Could it be a staff for a priest?

They could be guide posts that one could string a cord through to block off a section of pews for some reason or perhaps they are carried during a mass of some sort?

I would say they have to do with the Knights of Columbus - related to the Catholic Church.
