Masur birch grows mainly in Finland, Russia and the northern parts of Sweden and Norway. It was discovered on the Karelian Isthmus and received its Latin name there. The characteristic appearance arises from a combination of genetic, physiological and environmental factors. Masur birch is a relatively hard wood, but also tough, with high splitting strength.

The cane is inspired by the staffs of shepherds and the canes used for hiking and for gathering animals. They are usually longer than ordinary walking canes.
