This stunning Bocote wooden cane is golden brown in color with dramatic streaking throughout the handle and shaft. Some of the streaking is so unique and variegated that they create a Birdseye effect. The distinctive streaking of this wood leaves no two canes identical. For added beauty a decorative jeweler designed pewter collar had been added to this derby style handle, completing the look of a beautiful cane.

Description: Bocote is a particularly fine, beautiful wood, with colors varying from light to dark golden brown and variegated irregular markings. It has an attractive ray fleck figure if quartersawn. Bocote is a strong lustrous wood, with medium and uniform texture and straight or shallowly interlocked grain. It is easy to work, responds well to both hand and machine tools, is easily glued, and takes nails and screws well. It also polishes to a smooth finish, and stains and glues well. Bocote's bending strength is comparable to teak, and compression strength is comparable to mahogany. It is highly resistant to insects. The Tree: Bocote is a large canopy tree, with some specimens in the natural rainforest reaching up to 120 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter, with a straight cylindrical bole above a narrow buttress.
