Yo.

Doesn't look half bad, though you'd probably have had more luck using a lathe than sanding by hand (assuming thats how you did it because most people don't have lathes or access to).
yeah no i don't. it's just a machine lathed hickory dowel that i knocked out from 60 through 400 grit and then one coat of dark walnut danish oil, rubbed off in "teak oil finish" (both varnish/oil/solvent blends). It's curing. The shitty pictures don't do it justice.. you can barely make it out, but the heartwood/sapwood line goes down then ~1/3 line, and nicely stripes the stick.
