Here is another odd cane for an odd individual like myself. It can only be used by the left hand, it feels terrible in the right hand. The specie is Balsam Fir and it stands 38" tall but the grip is about 37" as is before you trim it to your needed length. It weighs 15ozs. and it varies in diameter from 1-1/8" to 1-3/8". It really seats well in your left hand, and it has a row of knots on the bow that will stand out more when finished. This has only been rough sanded. (uc45)
