About a year ago, I was talking to some guys after a dinner. We were all a little tipsy. One fellow, who evidently managed a state forrest or park, said there was an old fellow who made and handed out bull walking sticks at the park. I thought maybe he was joking, but looked the matter up, and, yeah, seems to be a traditional material. I think I'll continue with tree parts.
Pizzel Stick
how many of you guys have heard of this
A pizzel stick is made from a bulls penis
To make one you need a bulls penis wash it it in warm soapy water then hang to dry tie a weight on the (about 14lb or a couple of bricks for weight) end of it to stretch it.,push a steel rod through the penis before it dries out to much then leave to dry completely.it takes about 5- 6 weeks to dry out. (some people use a fibreglass rod to reduce the weight)The rod is used to fit a handle on.
Use sand paper and steel wool on it and give it 5-6 coats of varnish
Personally I haven't made one but quite a few people have.
That's the basics of making one I do have more info if anyone wants to make one
Does size matter yes in this case it does "you need a big un" because shrinkage is considerable .It is also possible to make a equine version
