Tiger Myrtle Bird Cane
Tiger Myrtle Bird Cane
This cane features a striking wood from Tasmania called Tiger Myrtle, which is myrtle wood with a special figure unique to this species that produces the dark streaks. The "tiger" streaks are caused by a fungus that infects the tree and It's extremely rare. Sometimes things need to come close to death to show their best beauty. In the divider is Indonesian black plam with ebony pins and the shaft is striped macassar ebony from Indonesia. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
During use your index finger wraps comfortably underneath the "beak". Designed to imply motion and flight, the handle is poised slightly forward in relation to the shaft. Therefore, the weight bearing portion of the handle is directly over the shaft, giving the piece a very stable feel.
