Here is a gorgeous rosewood cane using a few rare and obscure woods. The handle is Kamphi rosewood from S. E. Asia, specifically from Burma. This is actually only my 3rd cane using this rare rosewood species. It has a lovely, rich color, high density and durability, and a chatoyant and intricate grain - everything a wood enthusiast would enjoy. The shaft is another obscure wood, Senegal rosewood. Unfortunately this species is currently a highly coveted but critically endangered species that is subject to illegal logging and trafficking. It’s in very high demand in China as its considered one of the “hongmu” or China’s list of rosewood species. Senegal rosewood is not one of the “true” rosewoods that are all Dalbergia species, but it is a related species and just as attractive, its scientific name is Pterocarpus Erinaceus. My stock of this wood is very old and has been legally harvested and imported into the USA. Unfortunately pictures do not do justice to the interesting grain and colors of this wood, but if its attractive online than be assured it’ll be nicer in person. This would make a great daily use cane, but also great for special occasions or even collections. Its weight is medium, it has the substantial feel of a quality product but not too heavy for most users to enjoy. Total length measures 38” and can be shortened to fit.

Last image is of the Pterocarpus Erinaceus tree in its natural habitat.
