	Rattan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rattan (from the Malay rotan), is the name for the roughly six hundred species of palms in the tribe Calameae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia.
		Most rattans are distinct from other palms in having slender stems 2-5 cm diameter with long internodes between the leaves; their consequent growth habit also differs, not being trees but vine-like, scrambling through and over other vegetation.
		Rattan canes are also a common choice for inflicting pain, in disciplinary, legal punishment, torture or BDSM contexts.

		Rattan occurs from sea level to an altitude of 3 000 m and can grow in a wide range of soils and soil moisture conditions.
		Rattan is a lepidocaryoid or "scaly-fruited" palm, and the fruit scales of some species yield a substance called "dragon's blood" which is used to produce dyes and varnishes.
		Although rattan's ecological role is much less studied than that of bamboo, it is likely that rattan species with subterranean stems, such as Calamus minutus, or those with widely radiating, horizontally growing roots, such as Calamus caesium and Calamus manan, could have a significant role in preventing soil displacement.

	How to Make a Rattan Bow
		The fibres of rattan seldom break so it's ideal to have it with you while camping, canoeing and so on when you probably will be rather rough against your bow.
		Rattan is a rather forgiving material so this rule doesn't apply as hard for a rattan bow but it's unnecessary to take any risks of this kind.
		Since rattan is a very soft material to work with be sure that you don't file away to much because then you will have to file some on the other side and you could end up with a bow so weak that it won't even kill a fly.
