Don’t know the species. This came from a butterfly Bush I was trimming at a house we rented in Washington State. It sat in the umbrella rack for about three or four years. I scraped it with my pen knife about four years after cutting, sawed it to 37”’ rounded the knob end edges with 80 grit and rubbed it with several coats of BLO. Put a rubber cane tip on it. Simple and sweet. Very light and strong. No human tampering, but there is a purely accidental wood nymp peaking out of the knob. My wife’s main walking stick. She stole it from me.
