Wood Types

Our Premium Woods

Hickory

This is a fine grained, dense American hardwood, typically bone colored.  It is our hardest and heaviest grade stock.

Oak

We use white, red, and tan heavy oak, which is usually a dark khaki color after it is soaked in mineral oil.  The grain is more pronounced and open than hickory.

 

Ash

There's a reason baseball bats are made from ash; it's hard and supple!  It also makes a wonderful base for our brown and black stain.

 

Cherry

Our lightest and softest wood, cherry has an interesting grain that contains some unique swirls of orange, not unlike a lighter colored hickory heartwood.

 

Hickory with Heartwood

Mother Nature adds beautiful inserts of "Heartwood" to the bone color of our standard hickory to give your cane a very distinctive look.  The contrast of colors is simply outstanding!

 

Maple

Maple is heavy, hard, strong, tough, stiff, close grained and possesses a uniform texture.  It sands to a beautiful tight finish.  With excellent resistance to abrasion, indentation and shock.

 

Pure Hickory Heartwood

As the term denotes, hickory "Heartwood" comes from the center or "heart" of the hickory tree.  The color can range from a dark honey to deep mahogany.  If you want a truly sophisticated look, ask for your cane to be made from this gorgeous wood! Limited quantities available.

 

Walnut

The beautiful dark chocolate color of this wood sets it apart from all our other offerings.  It truly makes a statement of sophistication and luxury, especially when finished with high gloss tung oil.  Limited quantities available.
