This Rattan cane is 8/9 mm thick and is a full 31" long which includes a 6 1/2" handel.
Our manufacturer use rattan with the skin still intact. Beware of rattan with the skin peeled off, (Technically called "reed"), because that is where the majority of a canes strength lies.
Their rattan is fully saturated in a linseed oil compound, serving to swell and reinforce all of the internal capillaries and fibers as the oil cures. This increases the density and strength, while enhancing flexibility and resilience.
They use the best marine grade sealer and varnish available, sealing in the cured linseed oil soaked capillaries and fibers, increasing the outer surface strength, further allowing the rattan to take on the most durable, flexible and easy to clean surface possible, (resisting alcohol and household chemicals used in cleaning).
Finally, the handle is wrapped for an attractive, comfortable, secure grip.
