Cane is made of domestic and tropical hardwoods. The maximum custom cane length for the walking cane is around 42" and may be made to your custom length. Please request cane length when inquiring. Very strong and sturdy, the cane handle is Ambrosia Maple (North America) (7" section), and the shaft of this cane/stick is Brazilian Rosewood. The handle diameter of the is 1 7/8" and has a very comfortable feel in the palm of the hand. Wood color is natural and the low luster top coat finish is tung oil and oil varnish. The rubber tip (7/8") has a steel insert to last a long time and replacements are found at drug or medical supply stores. The handle and shaft of the cane are joined with a steel dowel screw and epoxy glue making a very strong joint. Brazilian Rosewood darkens when exposed to UV light (Sun light) over several months. Not only are walking canes/ sticks good for steadiness but they can also be used as a tool for personal protection. #59

For Spear Point Hunter's Knife - Stainless Steel Blade - Handmade Cocobolo Wood HandleThe blade and handle are fantastic. All aspects of the experience were outstanding. Charles was really friendly and communicated well. Between the messaging, and pictures, I knew exactly what I was getting. He was even kind enough to make a left-handed sheath for me.
