I’ve been using necessary tree pruning at my house as an opportunity to select ideal branches for walking sticks. My self-taught finishing process mostly consists of a bench top belt sander, hand scraper, and tung oil. It’s going pretty well, but I don’t yet know about the long term bark durability and adhesion.
You can’t fool me you’re making staves for wizards!
NICE
I’m more into wizards with guns myself.
Only one of them features a piece of quartz at the top to concentrate the wielder’s magical energy.
I, however, have no such power, so it’s functionally just a stick.
