Here is a lovely traditional style cane with an incredible selection of natural materials. The handle and shaft are two obscure arid acacia species from Australia that grows on the fridge of the outback, the handle is called "Western Myall" and the shaft is "gidgee". These are rare woods, only harvested on a small scale, I've gone through great lengths to connect with "wood hunters" in Australia that drive 1000's of KM seeking out these special timbers and offer small blocks and board for sale. Gidgee and Myall are small, stunted trees, getting quality wood in shaft-lengths is a challenge. Both woods are extremely dense and durable, gidgee is the second densest wood in the whole world and Myall is closely related. The handle has exhibition grade curl figure, as good as curl figure gets, tinny 3D fiddleback - extra rare and beautiful! In the divider are a few things that draw the eye, first are the Chrysocolla lapidary pins, a turquoise colored stone from Arizona. Next is the Honduran rosewood burl in the center, a special little piece of rare wood.

This piece would make a great daily use cane given its strength and durability, but certainty classy enough for any special occasion. This cane is a heavy one, users of small stature may not be comfortable using for extended periods of time. Can function as a self defense cane if need be. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
