This is a cane that doesn't look like a cane, just a whimsical root. It is a Balsam Fir specimen that is 38" overall and the seat of your palm would rest at 37-1/2" as is (before you cut it to length). The root that you rest on is a little small, so it would be best suited for a someone with smaller mitts. When you grip it your fingers straddle the other roots and grip them when lifted, it's a nice feeling. It weighs 15ozs. and it ranges from 1" to 1-3/8". (uc42)
