stockman's canes are made from hickory, iirc. I bought one, put the crook over a steaming pot of water and opened it up a smidge. I then capped both ends with copper pipe end caps with jb weld. Last, I rubbed it down with real tung oil several times and then waxed it. Makes a great cane and bludgeon.
Oh, and I have one of those rubber cane ends/chair leg ends on the, well, end.
