This Eagle Talon cane is modern in style and ancient in material - it has a Ukrainian Bog Oak handle and shaft. This wood is approximately 5,000 years old! Wood like this is called "sinker" wood. An oak tree lives a typical life span but when it dies and falls it is covered in peat moss or falls into a bog, both of which create an oxygen deprived environment that perfectly preserves the wood. But the oak does absorb minerals from its surroundings and the result after thousands of years is a dark color. This bog oak is a dark warm grey. Ancient wood like this is very rare and has a great story. The divider and pin inlays are a different ancient sinker wood, its red gum from Australia with a strong curl figure. In bright light its grain and chatoyance can be seen. Medium weight cane that could be used by most anyone, daily use appropriate. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
