The Brazilian
jungle is home to a huge variety of exotic and rare woods, but few
can rival the beauty and strength of "Purple Heart". The
Purple Heart has been air dried for seven years. Named for its
rich, purple-red hue, furniture connoisseurs have prized Purple
Heart wood mostly for its distinctive color. But Purple Heart has
other valuable properties, particularly when it is used as an
impact weapon. Purple Heart is extremely dense, fibrous and heavy.
This makes it very resistant to breakage when subjected to high
impact forces. So it's an ideal material for walking sticks where
its natural beauty and strength really shine. The Purple Heart
Walkabout can be described in three words, big, bad, and
beautiful.

The
Macacauba wood is sparsely found in only the deepest jungles. This
makes it very difficult to come by and pricey to boot. However,
it's more than worth the effort to obtain. Its color can only be
described as fantastic. When properly finished, a walking stick
made of this wood is medium brown in appearance with beautiful
contrasting streaks and stripes of deep, rich chocolate. It’s
also a super heavy, dense wood with terrific strength and, in our
tests, rivals Purple Heart in resistance to shock and impact. We
encourage you to not miss this fleeting opportunity as our supply
is limited. |
