Here is a striking ancient cane with one of my traditional handle shapes in sinker Tasmanian Myrtle wood. This myrtle It was recovered by two men with chains and a landrover out of a bog in the Tarkine rainforest in Tasmania. The same source as my ancient Tasmanian blackwood I offer occasionally. This material is several thousand years old! Preserved without decay for millennia within the bog’s oxygen deprived environment. Tasmanian myrtle wood is very chatoyant, plus this piece has a light curl figure in its grain. Separated by a layer of golden brass, the shaft is zebrawood from Africa, a high-contrast wood with a handsome grain that is tough and durable. Cane weight is medium, suitable for most any user. It is daily use appropriate and functional. Total length measures 38” and can be shortened to fit.
