I'm new at this. Check my Gallery for images of three of my first sticks which are cedar. These were already dead, dried, and somewhat cracked when I cut them in east Texas. On one, I filled the larger cracks with heated (very fluid) epoxy. I'm not recommending that, just saying what I did.
All three were finished very simply with 100% Tung oil, so that when they get scratched and scuffed, touchup will be a snap.
I am not an expert on finishes either. My daughter and my wife are happy with their sticks, and I like mine. My own cedar stick is likely too heavy for the girls.
