Hi,<br>great post about the boyscout stuff.<br>An aside:<br>does anyone know where I can get bamboo suitable for a walking stick in Pennsylvania?<br>thanks<br>JB

Bamboo is a common gardening supply item for fencing and treestakes.Try a websearch. I know some people have bought staffs this way.

I picked up my last piece of Bamboo at a Party Supply Store. Cheap decor for the Luau. Look for the fake Palm Trees

Finally with the generous help of Jet, I have crossed the digital barrier.<br><br>Here are the promised pictures of my Palm Walking Stick.<br>The Whole Thing:<br><br>A close-up of the Head of the stick:<br><br>And a close-up of the foot with home-made copper ferrule:<br><br><br>Again many thanks to ETS Jet for his use of his web site for my images.<br><br>Randy<br>
