Your gallery is absolutely amazing! After all of my pumpkin work over the past few years, I really wanted to get into wood carving. I signed up for a class but it never got enough people to sign up. Maybe some day. You are a great inspiration!
Putting beauty of the wood itself aside (which is the #1 thing I choose from) due to it is subjective, pick a wood with straight grain running the length of the cane.
Most people would say Basswood but I've never carved it due to it's boring looking, but if you were going to paint it or color or figure didn't matter it's the one. I have carved Walnut and it's very nice and looks good. Hope it helps good luck!
your work is gorgeous.. as i was growing up my parents collected sculpted wood that was treated in a similar technique to yours.. never thought much of it.. till now.. teach an old trick to a new dog.. excited to see more.
