The Twisted Maple With Padauk Handle and Spline Walking Cane boasts an exquisite maple shaft with a dark, padauk handle and spline. The fashionable canes versatility makes it perfect for both everyday excursions and stately events. The handle, made from the African exotic wood, padauk, ranges in color from a bright red to a warm, reddish-brown. Its natural, red hue has made it a favorite among exotic woodworkers for generations. Each maple shaft -- and each padauk handle -- is carefully chosen, cut, sanded, and finished with a protective clear coat lacquer, making each cane truly one-of-a-kind. The addition of the spline, coupled with our signature twist, adds an air of dignity to this reliable walking companion. Each handle is carefully attached to its corresponding shaft using a mortise and tenon joint -- an unparalleled joint method known for its unusual strength, and used in word working for centuries. The cane -- available in a standard 37-inch size, or a larger 40-inch size -- can also be personalized with laser engraving, and outfitted with a fashionable cane strap. Each cane comes with a standard rubber ferrule for a firm, secure grip on virtually any surface. Like all of our staffs and canes, the Twisted Maple With Padauk Handle and Spline Walking Cane is handcrafted in the USA using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods.
