Performance Profile

What this tool is built to do.

Physical behavior changes with species, grain, finishing, and selected upgrades. Where a measured finished weight or balance point is recorded for this product, it appears below. Relative handling notes describe the established SSB profile rather than pretending every board behaves identically.

Why it behaves differently

The narrow 3/8-inch round section carries less mass and flexes more readily than the Consequence Cane. That produces faster handling, quicker recovery, and a more focused response.

Profile comparison

Compared with the Consequence Cane: lighter, faster, more flexible, and more sting-forward.

Product Record

The Directive Cane Record

The Directive Cane is SSB's lighter, faster straight-cane profile: 36 inches long and 3/8 inch round.

Compared with the 1 inch square Consequence Cane, the Directive carries less mass, flexes more readily, recovers faster, and concentrates contact into a narrower line. Wood choice changes finished weight, balance, flex, and rebound, so each completed cane has its own material character inside the established profile.

Standard Configuration

  • Format: 36 × 3/8 in round
  • Approved woods: Red Oak, Ash, Maple, Hickory
  • Finish: Satin oil
  • Handle: Straight handle; optional leather wrap where offered
  • Engraving: Not offered on the standard Directive Cane

IMAGE REFERENCE: Product imagery is built from real SSB tool photography and finished-build references to show the intended profile, proportions, material character, and available configuration. Natural wood varies by board, so grain, color, figure, finish absorption, and other handmade details will differ from piece to piece.

For alternate layouts, unusual material combinations, or work outside the standard configuration, use the Custom Tool Builder.
