Here is a nice classical-shaped natural birch cane blank, The grip is more angled but it is eased at top for a nice rest. It stands 37-1/2" tall and it has some subtle facets from being stripped with a drawknife. The diameter varies from 1" to 1-1/4" and it has a slight dogleg towards the bottom. Currently it weighs one pound and it has only been rough sanded. (uc43)
