This spectacular cane is made using incredible figured Afzelia wood. Afzelia as a species is uncommon and highly sought after, but it's extremely rare when it shows a special figure called "xylay" which is a type of curl, but it's unlike any other kind of figured wood. Up close the wood grain is 3D looking, it's hard to believe the surface is flat! Stepping back the grain looks like scales on a reptile or a fish. The divider and end caps are brass with thin cocobolo rosewood which match the shaft. Normally I finish my canes with a glossy finish, I did this one in a luster finish with a velvety feel. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.

A very fine cane for a lover of exotic woods, there are however a couple flaws to note. The "xylay" figure falls off on one side of the handle and is less intense, there are also two filled insect holes on this side of the cane. The price of this cane takes these into consideration.
