Peel and clean the curved stick. Soak it in water several days, then straighten it. THEN make a walking stick of that stock. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
@@ProfessorDIY G’day, Prof. I was thinking more of load bearing capabilities. Under load, say, wearing a backpack and going down a steep hill - or pole vaulting a waterway - an off center pole will buckle and fold easier than a straight one. Being in mid air with the sharp end of a broken stick underneath you is not a good situation. Especially when is simple to avoid. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
@@jackvoss5841 Highly unlikely as a curved shape is actually stronger than a straight one and the forces needed to brake this stick far exceed what a person could ever produce, I would be happy to make a video demonstrating this
Why don't you heat the stick up to straighten it I've seen people do that before and then once it's straight they leave it alone for a while until it gets back to hard then it be perfectly straight why don't you try watching that and see how they doing that's what you should do
