Comment: << review queue entry 67406 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >>
1. traditional uses 木 radical for the "cane" meaning.
2. there are unicode variants with 刀 or 力 for that character that may depend on the font.

Editor:
Below are my comments again (sent 10 days ago).
Didn't get any response to them.
Further comments are shown inline.

1) Re: "traditional uses 木 radical for the 'cane' meaning."

In Taiwan, 枴 is sometimes used, but it looks like 拐 is the usual character for the "cane" sense.
For example, in Taiwan Panorama articles between 2011 and 2016, 拐杖 appears ten times.
E.g. 雙腿逐漸孱弱無力,必須拄單拐杖移步,...
枴杖, on the other hand, does not appear in any article during that period.

Google results (verbatim option):
"拐杖" site:.tw - About 757,000 results
"枴杖" site:.tw - About 59,900 results

2) GF is a dictionary that was written using simplified forms so I'm wondering why you quote it as a reference for this submission.

3) A cc-cedict entry is uniquely specified by its trad, simp, and pinyin. Therefore, it is not possible to have two separate entries beginning with 拐 拐 [guai3], as you have proposed.
Diff:
- 拐 拐 [guai3] /to turn (a corner etc)/to kidnap/to swindle/to misappropriate/walking stick/crutch/seven (used as a substitute for 七[qi1])/
# + 拐 拐 [guai3] /to turn (a corner etc)/to kidnap/to swindle/to misappropriate/seven (used as a substitute for 七[qi1])/
# + 拐 拐 [guai3] /variant of 枴|拐[guai3]/
# Editor: the above two lines need to be combined into a single entry, as follows
+ 拐 拐 [guai3] /to turn (a corner etc)/to kidnap/to swindle/to misappropriate/seven (used as a substitute for 七[qi1])/variant of 枴|拐[guai3]/
#
#
- 枴 枴 [guai3] /cane/
+ 枴 拐 [guai3] /cane/walking stick/crutch/old man's staff/
#
- 柺 柺 [guai3] /old man's staff/
+ 柺 拐 [guai3] /variant of 枴|拐[guai3]/
# compounds
# Editor: 拐 seems to be used significantly more often than 枴 in these compounds, so I'm retaining them as they are.
# - 拐棍 拐棍 [guai3 gun4] /cane/walking stick/
# + 枴棍 拐棍 [guai3 gun4] /cane/walking stick/
# - 拐杖 拐杖 [guai3 zhang4] /crutches/crutch/walking stick/
# + 枴杖 拐杖 [guai3 zhang4] /crutches/crutch/walking stick/
# - 架拐 架拐 [jia4 guai3] /to use a crutch/
# + 架枴 架拐 [jia4 guai3] /to use a crutch/
