jjbull 38 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 couple of sticks ive made when i was bored think the most important thing is too know what you want it to look like before you start so you got something to aim for dont start off too complicated, the hardrest bit with most sticks is getting a good finish on the joins on the handles and ferrules and make sure its comfortable to use Quote Link to post Share on other sites
