  I made a Bo Staff out of a 1.25" diameter piece of poplar and it's 6' long. Stained it with dark hickory stain. Found the balance point and put a dark blue 1" wide stain there. Put rubber table leg tips on each end. It's a hiking stick that I can use either end, it's an exercise tool and a weapon that one doesn't want to be on the receiving end of.

  Lovely job you make mate. It’s amazing what you can do with a stick to make it look really good, without having a fancy carved handle etc. I’m going stick cutting next week for the first time in 20 years, (in southern Scotland) and I’m going to have that paracord wrap on a stick. I like that. Thanks for the video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

  I used to make canes with saplings similar, but not dead, cut live, and air dried for about 10 years.  Nice looking canes, very sturdy.  But then one winter I slipped on a slick step, fell, on top of the cane as it happened.  Pushed myself up, and found the cane had snapped in two and I had not even realized it.  That was the day I started making canes out of layers of plywood.  So, as long as you don't fall on the walking stick, should be fine.

  Thank you for the simple video. I've never done woodcrafts before but I am making walking sticks for my Cub Scout Den as they are about to cross over to Boy Scouts. I had to take down a cherry tree two years ago and saw the straight smooth branches and kept them in my garage to dry and cure since then. I been sanding and sanding but wasn't sure how to finish them or seal them!  I can't wait to finish them now!
