I left the bark on this sweet gum walking stick sanded it down till I got to the inner bark and left some of the outer bark applied some boiled linseed oil then I realized the colors looked like a timber rattler skin finished it with a semi gloss lacquer.

LOVE the colors on that, Randy. The lacquer really brought a lot of depth to the shine on it.

Sweet gum is that the tree with the spikey golf ball sized seeds? Makes for a good looking stick nicely done Randy.
