I find it is always fun teaching someone about making the sticks, and you don't realize how much knowledge you have about them until you explain it and get the tough questions.

Years ago I wrote a short tutorial for "About.com" (I think) and it might still be there. I also wrote a more detailed tutorial with pictures that I put on my wood burning (pyrography) forum...it had pictures of the different stages. I mention this because you might want to make notes and take pictures along the way so you have a resource for future tutorials. JMO

Regardless...good luck!

It would be fun I think to have a Buddy who does the same thing. Make it a fun experience for her. I enjoy going out into the world and woods and looking at the potential sticks growing.
