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.
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.
