Bocote is a Central American exotic hardwood that has a golden-to-dark brown hue that often takes on distinctive grain patterns, swirls, eyes," and zebra-like stripes. Our Ladies' Bocote Walking Cane is highly exotic. Our woodworkers take great care to make sure that each exotic walking cane is perfectly crafted. The result is a stunning, elegant cane that's perfect for any occasion.After receiving the raw material into our wood shop, we meticulously cut each piece to pattern, work the cane on a router, sand it smoothly -- giving it our signature twist -- and, finally, spraying each cane with a protective clear coat lacquer to magnify the essential beauty of each piece.Each fashionable derby handle is carefully attached to its shaft using a mortise and tenon joint. The mortise and tenon method is an unparalleled joint method known for its unusual strength; it has been used in wood working for centuries.The cane -- available in a standard 34-inch size -- can also be personalized with laser engraving, and outfitted with a fashionable cane strap. Additionally, each cane can be further accessorized with an attractive pewter star or Texas State Seal. 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 Bocote Walking Cane is a handcrafted jewel; it is made in the USA using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods."
