This cane has some remarkable grain, wow! The handle and top shaft section are both made from salvage harvested Tasmanian blackwood. The grain in the handle is heavily quilted with deep 3D looking grain, it's hard to believe the surface is flat! The shaft has crinkle curl figure throughout that is also 3D looking but with smaller "waves". Tasmanian blackwood is extremely chatoyant with grain that catches and moves with light. The shaft is divided roughly into thirds with the bottom two thirds being Hawaiian Koa wood, which happens to be a very close relative biologically to Tasmanian blackwood. These woods are hard to tell apart they are so similar and share many of the same grain and wood qualities, Koa is the better known of the two. The Koa has a light curl figure. The divide on this piece are brass with curly Tasmanian blackwood sapwood in the center. This one is a gorgeous and functional cane for any lover of wood grain. Medium weight. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
