Banksticks
Posted: Sun May 14, 2023 6:13 pm
Hi gents,
my new banksticks are finally ready
. I've been tinkering with it for a year... and now I'm looking forward to using it on the water soon. My dear mother-in-law made the sheath especially for these batons from heavy brown fabric. Great, I can't do that. Many thanks again at this point 
. I didn't have any split cane left for the banksticks, so I used oak sticks. I made the brass parts on my lathe and a bender. For the wraps I used Prowrap yarn with a few coats of boat varnish. Oh yes, to protect the rod I put silicone hoses on the rod holders.
Best regards
Markus
