The cane has a long history, traced to Egyptian history through depictions in hieroglyphics even before the discovery of the hundred plus canes. ABOUT ASH WOOD ASH WOOD IS A HARDWOOD AND IS HARD, DENSE, TOUGH AND VERY STRONG, BUT IS ELASTIC, USED IN MAKING BOWS, BASEBALL BATS, WALKING STICKS AND OTHER USES DEMANDING HIGH STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE. THE MORGAN MOTOR COMPANY OF GREAT BRITAIN STILL MANUFACTURE THEIR SPORT CARS WITH FRAMES MADE FROM ASH WOOD. REGARDING CANES & WALKING STIX Many folks ask me if antique canes are OK to use. I do not believe that an antique cane should be used for support. When these were made they were more as a fashion statement and not a means of support. Everybody carried a cane in the days of old.
