Gtbaker369 44 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi all, Just working on my new Ruff Stick getting it all shaped etc. Will be using it for Beating and knocking about with. I am just after some advice from the experienced lads about what to put on the bottom. Without measuring it exactly I would say it's Atleast an inch in diameter so a cartridge brass is out of the question, any suggestions what I can do to prevent wear. Also if possible I would like it not to be too glossy as my other sticks when using Varnish. Is there anything else I can use to pretect it from the thrashing and the elements without making it glossy? Cheers all in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
low plains drifter 9,463 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Brass ferrul for the bottom, and a rub down with raw or boiled linseed oil now and then to protect, simple as that mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
