This ancient cane has a Ukrainian Bog Oak handle and shaft. Essentially a very dark grey cane with little color. Ukrainian bog oak is approximately 5,000-7,000 years old! Wood like this is called "sinker" wood: an oak tree lives a typical life span but when it dies and falls it is covered in peat moss or falls into a bog, both of which create an oxygen deprived environment that perfectly preserves the wood. But the oak does absorb minerals from its surroundings and the result after thousands of years is a dark color. Ancient wood like this is very rare, it must be first found, then ”mined” from the ground, and it has a great story! The divider is matching bog oak but end grain oriented towards the sides of the cane. Would make a great daily use cane. It has matte Danish oil finish that is smooth and natural. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.

The last image is of a “log in the bog”, ancient bog oak being found and excavated.
