This is a making something thread, and I’ll show some pics when I do the work in a couple of weeks. It’s for a friend I owe a lot to.
First I need to start with a question.
Specifically walking stick users, or those with first-hand knowledge: what type of ferrule do you prefer for an outdoor stick?
I see either brass or rubber (clinical looking) after a quick Google. What’s wrong with stainless? Some hard plastic like acetal? Too slippy? Is brass chosen for being softer and more grippy against hard surfaces?
