Handsome wood solids such as Oak, Maple, Hickory, are available to mention a few of our wide range. The canopy can be made from nylon or more traditionally in luxurious silk.
Whangee comes from the root of a type of Bamboo, which gains its unique appearance from the constant soil erosion on a sharp gradient; exposing it to the elements. When harvested, it is sent to us where it is bleached, boiled and straightened. It is then bent into the handle attached to the unique Brigg shaft and frame.
