Bog Birch and Bog Oak Cane
Bog Birch and Bog Oak Cane
Here’s a really sharp looking ancient cane, every part is aged in millennia! The handle is my most recently acquired ancient material, its West African Birch wood that was found sunk into a bog where it was resting for at least 1000 years! Its color is darker from mineral exposure and the wood is denser for the same reason. The bog birch handle is chatoyant with a handsome shimmery grain, a dynamic effect only appreciated in person. The shaft is also a bog wood, its oak from Ukraine, and its considerably older at around 5000 years old! The divider has a centerpiece of bog oak from another part of the world - Ireland. These ancient timbers hold a remarkable story and there isn’t anything else quite like it. Cane weight is medium, suitable for most any user. It is daily use appropriate and functional. Total length measures 38” and can be shortened to fit.
