An exhibition worthy cane with grain so figured its “over the top”! The handle and shaft are both made from salvage harvested Tasmanian blackwood. The grain is crinkle curl figure throughout that is 3D looking upon close inspection, looking like "waves" within the wood. Tasmanian blackwood is extremely chatoyant with grain that catches and moves with light, an effect accentuated by the grain’s figure, a dynamic feature only appreciated in person. The two toned effect of the wood is another feature adding even more interest, the light color being the tree’s sapwood, the darker, warmer wood is the heartwood (explained further in my glossary). The shaft is curved on this piece with a gentle arch from the front towards the back with its tip meeting the floor beneath the middle of the handle. This was to follow the natural curvature of the tree and maximize the blonde sapwood along its entire length. A gorgeous, functional cane for any lover of figured wood grain; Tasmanian blackwood does not get more figured than this example, very rare!
