Hi all
I've a number of poles drying so to make some walking sticks for family and friends, and looking for a bit of advice. Their birch and hazel and would like to keep the bark on. (Poles taken from land where I had permission to cut them)
How do you clean the bark?
Would you seal the bark and what with?
What finisher would you put on the sticks?
How and when would be way of taking bark off, (whilst green or dry)
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated on prep and finish
Rob
