This is a chunky maple cane, it's crooked but the weight transfer path works fine. This one was not from a curved sapling, it came from a branch. It stands 35-3/4" tall and the girth varies from 1-1/4" to 1-1/2". It was stripped with a drawknife so it has nice subtle facets and it weighs 1# 5ozs(uc25)
