30 years ago, my son and I were walking in our woods and I cut out two young hardwood trees for walking sticks. I peeled the bark off mine and left it on my sons. Mine lasted about 12 years and I just called him in California and he still has his. It's as hard as steel now. He's been a Marine since 2009. Thought I'd add, we let them dry naturally and his never cracked a bit
I've been doing this sort of thing for many years, here's one of my favorite tips for you, cut your saplings after the leaves fall off and cut them much longer than needed, keep them for at least a full year before you remove the bark, boiled linseed oil is my choice to seal the ends
I cut sticks year round, dry them with a heat gun or open flame, to straighten/ dry them. Apply clear coat. I make them for walking sticks and Escrima practice batons. Most of them last awhile and are hard and solid with good weight
Thank you for making this video, it’s always good to see the full process, plus I really like the idea of cleanly taking the bark off so there is almost a modern feel to the end stick. If you’re interested I’d love to see your thoughts on my first attempt on a walking stick (video just released on my channel)
You knew this would bring out the saps, I mean tree huggers. But like the rest of mankind, I am sure you ignore them too! You can responsibly find these saplings
It's all fine and dandy when it's one person doing it. What if theres 100,000 people cutting down hardwood saplings to make a profit? I am in no way a sap, but responsible woodworkers source their products from fresh dead fall, not from young saplings.
What color live tree down when you can get a dry Dead branch my thought is that everybody get upset of people cutting the forest what do you think he’s boing?
Ma stiamo scherzando? Cioè io penso che questi video dovrebbero andare in una classifica a parte e non mischiarli con altri fatti da professionisti perché tu fino a quando non finisce non sai di cosa si tratta per cui far sprecare tutto questo tempo per delle assurdità simili che io costruivo all'età di 6 anni , non mi sembra corretto. Invito pertanto gli organi preposti a segnalare questi video con una sigla di riconoscimento così sappiamo da subito il livello del contenuto. Fortunatamente ho velocizzato quindi l ho fatto durare 1 minuto.
Cut the tree off at the base to coppice the tree. Cut with the saw to the side of the body. If you, cut with right hand, right leg supports the branch saw to the side.
Thanks for the video….though I thought that fellow was right about cutting down that living tree. I felt myself involuntarily cringe watching you. I believe you forgot to mention what that black dip was. I’d really be interested in knowing that if you wouldn’t mind responding.
Your long and detailed explanation as if you are doing a very big and difficult job is interesting.I must say that the work done has no special features for me. I could easily do the same with a simple knife, hand drill and a piece of broken glass. Every job is good, but there is no need to strain.

So, you cut down green living saplings to make walking sticks? I'm sure if you look about 5 minutes harder, you'd find fresh dead fall and not kill a young tree to make a profit.
@@mzondi1970 so, let's just say that every wood worker near forests goes out and cuts, let's say 10 saplings a week, to make canes and walking sticks. That's 40 trees a month for just 1 wood worker. I know at least 10 cane makers. That's 400 a month. It grows exponentially every person that salvages live wood. You can't be ok with that.
A lot of unsubstantiated assumptions there don't you think? It's like AL Gore and his rationale for abandoning incandescent light bulbs for fluorescent.

Thanks, nice story
Enjoyed watching your video. Walking sticks are my main thingy and always looking for new ideas.

calrgomm9699, I agree, this cat is cutting the sticks too short, thought he has presented a good project otherwise.

WTF!! You cut wood in the summer …. That’s totally wrong !!! You have so mutch sap in the wood !!! Only cut sticks in the wintertime!!!!
Nice Work. Very well presented, Thanks
Thanks
Восхитительно! Просто восхитительно!
a serious achievement from a ten years old child... congrat.
Haha, although I'd say a little younger.
Can’t stop laughing. But you are right

That's interesting content !
What color live tree down when you can get a dry Dead branch my thought is that everybody get upset of people cutting the forest what do you think he’s boing?
What did you dip it in ?
Thanks for sharing.
Can't believe i watched that
If this is occupational therapy recommended by the doctor to get him out of drug hell, then ok. Although I feel sorry for the visited young tree.
I don't cut down trees. I use dead branches.
There’s no right or wrong way to make a good walking stick, it’s choosing the right type of wood which will last the longest.
Why does it have to last ?
@@ukestudio3002
When you create a walking stick wouldn’t you want it to last a long time?
@theodorehowe2262 what european wood would you suggest as best?
Need to build yourself a shave horse, makes life alot simpler.......ATB
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Это все серьезно, целых 25 минут?
What is the correct kind of sander to buy? Orbital?
I use a orbital sander, and 80 grit, 100 grit, and 120 grit sand paper
What's the length of this stick. Great skill though❤
I make 3 lengths which are approximately 4, 5, and 6’.
Good..thanks.
Nice video👍
What is the black liquid that dip your walking stick into?
I use a a tool handle dip from the hardware stire
Art work 🙏🙏🙏🌿🌿🌿
what stops the bark from falling off in 6 months?
I use Slack finish
Iam used your video for short film.
What did you gain with all the shop work rather than cutting the stick to the desired length in the woods and continue on your walk?
Money? I am thinking he might be selling the finished product.
Kimmon, what is the dip you are using for the end?
He used a black coloured tool-handle dip. I've mostly seen orange, red, or yellow colours.You can find it in hardware stores.

What you dipped it into blackish dark blusish liquid what was it you did not explained
What are you dipping the end in
I use a dip called Plastic dip

Maybe it would be better not to cut the whole small tree, but only one branch of a bigger one...
No wonder trees hate people. Cutting down baby trees. Never leave trees just live in peace. St.Paul,Minnesota.
Cut the tree off at the base to coppice the tree. Cut with the saw to the side of the body. If you, cut with right hand, right leg supports the branch saw to the side.
Nice what wood?
I like red oak if possible.
All the gear but no idea. Don't work green wood.
Thanks for the video….though I thought that fellow was right about cutting down that living tree. I felt myself involuntarily cringe watching you. I believe you forgot to mention what that black dip was. I’d really be interested in knowing that if you wouldn’t mind responding.
I think he said it’s the plastic dip for coating handles.
Don't you let it dry? and use a rubber tip not dip it in whatever you dipped it in.

The video recording quality is nice, but the subject is ridiculous. Why use such complex tools in a situation where one sharp knife is enough.
yes !!!!!
¿¡Por qué madera retorcida!?
What wood is this please
I use oak
Que proyecto tan fascinante😑
I managed a few minutes, what a load of dribble,
wtf did you even dip it in?? You never said!!

How do you get permission to use the woods? In my area it is all private property and I don’t know how to get a location for getting saplings
just ask the owner
I wish it was that simple. Plots are not easily marked by ownership,at least done in my local area
It’s my property
@@kimmonwaldruff2397 oh. That was not clear from the video!

why cut living green trees? too bad
I have acres of woods and usually do use dead or downed trees but sometimes there is an exception.

It's probably his land do what he wants on his land and it looks like there's plenty of good growth in that area

@@edlively2616 there is truth to what I say though.
I cut saplings every day and let them lay .
Это шутка?
After I saw you cut down a live tree rather then look for a fallen one I turned you off. Big turn off.
Entire cities are built using wood cut from live trees. Grow up and see how the real world works.
Turn you ass of
Why do people like this think that their sad little lives have any interest or entertainment value I cannot imagine
You watched it 😅
Jerk who are you
not good
I burned stick and than to grind. It got nice colour too..after grind coating with oil mixed with beeswax.greetings
