I think I'd like to try and make a quarter-staff by hand.
I have a small cull maple tree in the yard I can use that's straight and about 6" diameter.
I'm guessing, cut it to length, split it into quarters, carve/round them up, dry, then apply a finish/sealant.
Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks.
This is what I'd like to end up with (I bought this one)
Oh, and btw, I did google and found a video on how to make one from a sapling in the woods. There wasn't a lot of detailed info though.
