Bois de Rose
Bois de Rose
Here’s a wonderful, heirloom quality walking cane made with some of the prettiest of all rosewoods. The handle is one of my personal favorite woods, and one of the rarest among the rosewood species, its Bois de rose from Madagascar with a scientific name: Dalbergia Maritima. It’s obviously quite dark, but Bois de rose has a wonderful maroon red/dark purple color and a chatoyant grain. It requires some bright environments to fully appreciate, but this is a gorgeous wood with a fine chatoyance. Its also very dense and heavy and feels great in hand. Bois de rose was always a rare and precious wood, but has become extremely rare in recent years, once its gone it’ll be gone for good.
The shaft is an excellent example of a rare rosewood species from S. E. Asia; it’s obscure, particularly in the West, it’s most common name is its Latin Scientific name: Dalbergia Oliveri, or “Oliveri” for short. It has rich, warm colors, high density, and a shimmery grain.
Such a beauty! This rosewood cane is fully functional.
