My father-in-law is 94 years old and just started haveing trouble getting out of his chair and walking.
He made a walking stick out of an old yellow broom stick and put a rubber tip on it, but won't take it to stores or restrauents because of it's appearence.
I cut a branch off a walnut tree in my back yard (1 1/2" diam at the top,
3/4" diam at the bottom & 5' long) and stripped the bark.
I sanded everything smooth and used fiberglass tape to tape it to a piece of angle iron to straighten it.
QUESTION: Where should I let it dry & how long should I let it dry before I stain and finish it.
