This piece is made exclusively with leadwood, a rare exotic wood from Mozambique. This wood is appropriately named because it is profoundly heavy for wood. Leadwood is actually one of the finest wood for an extremely durable cane, not only is leadwood heavy and hard but its bending strength measured scientifically as “modulus of rupture” is exceptionally high. There are more scientific measurements for the characteristics of wood, this one is good at them all. A very functional cane but not for someone of small stature. Would make a great self defense cane.
