This cane offers a unique visual between the ancient and modern forms of the same species, Red Gum from Australia. The handle is ancient Red Gum and it's nearly black. It spend several thousand years buried in a bog slowly getting stained darker and darker by mineral exposure but deprived of oxygen thus preventing decay. It's highly figured, some of the most figured ancient material I've ever acquired. The shaft is also red gum but it shows what this species looks like cut and dried from a recent tree - quite vibrant! A divider of amboyna burl from S. E. Asia and silvery aluminum completes the piece. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
