Finished the heavy hand sanding on my Oak walking stick. I like the borer holes in it. Gives it character. Need to finish it up with some 120 or 180, add wood filler to a few cracks and stain it. I had a stick for like 5 years and the people who cut down our oak and sweetgum tree chipped my stick with the rest of the wood when I left it leaning on the porch. This one is similar in shape and fits me prefect.55E675BA-74F8-4F23-8A57-4C11CDAF2EAD.jpeg

For the cracks and borer holes, use some wood dust from sanding, pack it in and use cyanoacrylate. You’ll probably need to do multiple applications to fill it til it’s proud of the wood so you can sand it even. I’ve done that with manzanita.

Hope you have a very long beard to go with a walking stick like that, perhaps a pointy hat as well!

Unfortunately I didn’t get my fathers beard genes lol. My wife told me “you do not need a walking stick that big”. I told her that the moon was going to charge my stick overnight and in the morning I’m going to walk outside slam my stick into the ground and invoke lighting and thunder lol.

Well I'm probably insane, but I just put four tomatoes in. In April! LOL. June 1st is our safe planting time, but I already have peas and lettuce up and the forecast looks good. And these are all just extra plants if they get killed there are more. Think I'm going to put a few cucumber and squash seeds in as wellIMG_20210427_164304.jpgIMG_20210427_164245.jpgIMG_20210427_164228.jpgIMG_20210427_164155.jpg
