This spectacular cane has a rosewood burl handle, which is a museum worthy description regardless of which rosewood species it is. But this one is a very obscure rosewood species that doesn't have a common name, only its Latin scientific name, which is: "Dalbergia Candenatensis". This special piece of wood isn't just rare, its gorgeous, with wonderful grain patterns and a host of colors. The end of the handle is adorned with a piece of agate and the metal is brass. The divider and shaft are gidgee wood from the Australian outback with curl figure. Gidgee is the second densest wood in the world, nearly tied with Lignum Vitae. Gidgee is a stubby, stunted, semi-arid region tree; high quality material is very rare. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit. This is a heavy cane. Not recommended as a weight-bearing cane, suitable as a balance aid; wrist strap recommended.
