This cane has a handle in Amboyna (Pterocarpus indicus), which is a burl 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 Purple Heart (genus Peltogyne). Its natural habitat is Central and South America. It is sometimes called “Amaranth”. The strong, eye-catching purple colour is natural and rewarding to create contrast with. A hard wood that can be a challenge to work with, and whose dust can cause irritation and allergy-like symptoms.
The collar is ebony and brass.
