This cane has a handle in Amboyna (Pterocarpus indicus), which is a burl growth on the Narra tree (Pterocarpus indicus). Amboyna is among the most expensive and sought-after burls there are. The name comes from the island of Ambon in Indonesia, where most of this figured wood comes from. Amboyna is hard and difficult to work, but rewarding to polish to a lustre.
The shaft is made of Australian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon), which grows in Tasmania and, to a lesser extent, in the southern parts of Australia. The colour is not black wood, as the name suggests, but has a deeper red-brown tone with black streaks. A highly sought-after wood for its decorative qualities.
The collar is in Lignum Vitae, ebony and brass.
