Koa and Sapele Cane

[Jasonparadis]

My first for a cane, under the tutelage of @Don Ratcliff. One of the last island raids before he packed it up to the mainland :-) Beautiful koa burl for the handle and a matching insert halfway down the shaft, sapele for the shaft itself. Thrilled with the results!

Nicely done. You hanging back to shuttle supplies to the islander when he embarks to the real world where koa no longer grows on trees?
Looks like we still get to keep a token Islander here on WB.

Decadent! You have big shoes to fill now that Don is a Mainlander! Keep the projects rolling and the photos flowing! Chuck

He's definitely hoping so! Happy to remain the token Islander for now. Thanks!

Amazing cane!!

Silly islander, he doesn't know to take pictures of koa in full sunlight and not on a cloudy day to really see the glow of that wood.

I guess he wants us mainlanders to not get overly excited about it and try to cross the moat to steal his koa. I suppose it makes sense to take a pic like that...

Hate to admit it but had to look up Ovilla. Beautiful cane Jason

Agreed 100%. Also one single light source in a large dark room works.

Beautiful cane - Sapele and Koa are some of the most chatoyant stuff you can get!
