Key to breathing normally after my lung #cancer surgery has been daily walks. I don't need a stick, but got used to carrying it to feel safer from #joggers and cyclists who get too close!

This is my Grandfather's, so maybe 60 years old? I recently rubbed down some of the thick varnish that was peeling off. I've made it a #reuse project as it's the right length, my grandfather was 6'3"!

It's wet with woodstain, this is the 2nd time, and I'll be sealing with 100% #beeswax later

Here's the cleaned up stick. The #beeswax had a few days to be absorbed, so the #wood feels dry and normal to touch, with a pleasing matt finish. Rainwater marbles on the surface and runs off, so it's well protected.

It's much classier than the shiny varnish I rubbed off that was peeling with age.
