Well most of you did not know but for years I cut up rattan and made sticks commercially and sold them all over the place. Usually I would use 8 to 9 foot lengths that would have to be considered thick by my standards everything else I would just use until busted up during full contact sparring. So I still cut and make sticks but now only for my students. Heck, it is just not enough of a mark up to do it for everyone else. Well here is today's work for a student.
Now I am a firm believer in never throwing out a stick so when your sticks start to splinter always wrap them with tape. I use cloth hockey tape and have for years. Now I have about 1,000 sticks or so. :erg:
