In Malaysia, a rattan-producing country, the thin, two-foot strips of rattan, coiled into a loop at one end, are sold in all open markets by the “housewares” vendor. (Most convenient for mums to pick up a cane with a new can-opener) These canes, however, were known to eventually bend themselves out of shape. I don’t know for what reason (perhaps humidity), but it seemed as though these canes would get “curly” over time if used a lot. They didn’t split or break, but they would get “floppy”.
