That reminds me, I was cutting walking sticks from my trees last year, and I was dipping the ends in wax. Sure enough, I knocked the wax over and it went all over my workshop floor.

I seal the ends with wood glue now.

Sounds like a good idea. Warm bee's wax can get a little sticky.

And then, there's the potential that it could attract bears...

Cheap paint works well also. It has the added advantage allowing you to color code your stock as to what year it was cut.

I'd just spill the paint on the floor.

I also like the wood glue because I like pealing it off my skin afterward to honor my ancient reptilian ancestors.

Good gods, Ted.

Sorry about that, Hawk.

Wow! Thanks for that! And as a funny side note, the smiley you use is coded like this:

: hide : Hide. No pun intended, I assume?

No problem, Ted. It gave me an excuse to use the Commander Sisco facepalm!

It was a mugly thing of me to do, Hawk.

And I see that in the article Dale linked to, it was called a boot at one time.

I retract my boot statement and say, it's probably better than drinking from your moccasin... Water moccasins?

I tried drinking from a water moccasin once. They get grumpy when you start sucking on their faces.
