On a recent camping trip, my daughters and I picked up a stick and we'd like to make a pen from it. It was from a fallen tree that looked like it had been there for a while-dry with no bark, smoothed from the weather.
My question is this. Should I try to do anything before I start? The only thing that came to mind was to put it in the oven (low temp) to make sure it's dry, but I'm not sure if that would do anything.
I don't have a way to impregnate with resin and I assume any type of hardener on the surface will just get turned off.
I'm trying to post an image now.
Thanks!
