A gallery quality cane featuring the most expensive wood in the world - Hainan rosewood, or Dalbergia Oderifera (Latin scientific name). Even bead sized pieces of Hainan rosewood can sell for hundreds of dollars - it is quite precious. Its scarcity is the result of high demand for centuries, right up to the present day, leading the species to near extinction. Hainan rosewood was the wood of choice of the Chinese emperor's furniture for several dynasties. Such pieces only exist in museums today. Very little Hainan rosewood was ever exported outside of China so it is quite exciting to be able to offer this cane.

The piece of Hainan rosewood for this cane handle is gorgeous with contrasting grain colors ranging from pinks, purples, reds, and beiges. Hainan rosewood has an excellent chatoyancy, its grain almost sparkles. The shaft is Dalbergia Oliveri, another very rare rosewood with similar colors, its from S. E. Asia. The divider is pink ivory wood from S. Africa and copper metal. Overall a gorgeous cane, it would make a great daily user, or special occasion piece. Also, I cant help but say - if you like it enough to consider it from the photographs, you'll love it more in person. It's weight it medium, appropriate for almost all users. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.

A special opportunity to own a "once in a lifetime" wood.
