Acacia Carnei Sickle Cane
Acacia Carnei Sickle Cane
Here is a sickle-style cane made out of a wood I had been trying to acquire for years, and was finally able to acquire in the summer of 2022. The handle is "purple acacia" or acacia carnei, which grows in arid, remote parts of the Australian outback, it's little more than a shrub that grows slowly on the edge of existence. Extremely obscure. But the wood is a beautiful purple color with lovely chatoyance and is remarkably dense. My Australian contact drove thousands of KM in search of this wood, finally he found a small stand of them where he sustainably salvage harvested material for me from dead trees. Genuinely a privilege to offer this material. The shaft is glossy and black as midnight west African ebony wood. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
If this wood wasn't so rare, this handle would have failed my quality expectations, having a few spots of discoloration. Its hard to get workable pieces of this rare wood as big as a cane handle. Beggars cant be choosers! Still, offered at a discounted price, 50% off.
