Here is a beautiful and colorful cane using a few rare and obscure woods. The handle is 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. It has a pleasant array of colors, and a shimmery grain, with a density that will be strong serves this functional purpose well.

Bubinga (shaft) is the same way, warm, colorful, dense, and shimmery. Bubinga is not biologically a rosewood species either, but its regarded as one by woodworkers because its properties and appearance are nicer than even some of the genuine rosewood species. All together this is an heirloom quality piece of functional artwork. Cane has a substantial feel to it, but not chunky and unrefined. Could be used daily by most any user.
