Dragon's Blood Burl Cane
Dragon's Blood Burl Cane
This heirloom quality cane is a rare opportunity to own an amazing wood called "dragon's blood" in burl figured form. This species is extremely rare, but burl wood is much rarer even still. I have now made a handful of canes with this burl wood over the past few years, all from the same burl, and this one is above average burl eye density so its a great example. The trees are protected and endemic to one small island called Socotra that is part of the country Yemen. The last image is of one of the dragon’s blood trees in its natural range, they are some of the most other-worldly tree species. This wood is is a once is a lifetime opportunity and once my stock runs out It’ll be gone for good. The shaft is an obscure wood I’ve only used a couple of times, its called “Balsamo wood” from S. America. Its very dense and durable and has a fantastic chatoyant effect. Perfectly functional but best considered as a special occasion cane. It’s weight is average, it has the respectable feel of dense, quality hardwoods and excellent craftsmanship. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
The last image is of a Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari).
