Here is another cane that doesn't represent the typical image so maybe it'll have less stigma. It is light and small but strong. and it is suitable for the RIGHT hand only. The specie is Tamarack, a gorgeous wood that isn't used commercially. As you can see the larger root was slightly contoured to make a nice palm rest and the perpendicular root stops your hand from sliding. This would be well suited for a smaller individual with smaller hands, as it only weighs 12ozs and currently stands 37" tall to the rest before you cut it to a custom height. It has only been rough sanded. (uc48)
