Gidgee and Olive Cane
Gidgee and Olive Cane
This heirloom quality cane is handmade using two wonderful examples of two of the densest woods in the world. The handle is Gidgee wood, an arid region acacia species from Australia with fine curl figure dominating its appearance. Curl figure this fine is a beautiful effect accentuated by the wood’s chatoyancy. This wood is basically tied for the densest wood in the world! It extremely durable and an excellent choice for a hard working cane.
The divider is unique, its Alaskan muskox horn, which has a translucent surface and depth, it has brass layers above and below with thin olivewood. The shaft is olivewood from S. Africa and it is mostly light colors with medium browns and very interesting grain along its length. This wood is super heavy and tough as nails. This is a heavy cane, it may even be surprising, when held, that a cane made out of wood can have such a respectable heft and not be massively chunky. Not recommended for users of small stature.
The last two images is of a gidgee tree in its native habitat.
