Here’s a traditional handled ancient cane with dense, dark, and beautiful woods. The handle is ancient Red Gum wood from Australia, It spent 10,000 thousand years buried in a river bed! Slowly over the millennia being stained darker and darker by mineral exposure but deprived of oxygen thus preventing decay. Pulled out a few years ago, carefully dried, and today it works and feels just like it was cut from a modern tree! It's lightly curl figured as well. Though very dark this ancient wood is also chatoyant and in brighter environments its grain is visible, but at a glance this handle will appear nearly black. Bright brass layers leads into the Black and White ebony shaft. This ebony is extremely rare and equally unique, a creamy colored wood with pitch black veins running randomly through it. B&W ebony is the highest contrast heartwood in the world! This piece would make a very functional and durable every day cane, but certainty nice enough for special occasion use.

The last image is of a red gum tree, an ancient one of a different sort, standing for hundreds of years. Inside the tree is my Australian wood supplier who left this tree alone, he salvage harvests.
