This is the "RAILS" page

Rails, like unfinished sticks etc are skinned and dried; not sanded; diamonds have not been cleaned out as you can see below.

August 2007 update:

All Rails under 40 inches in length and all those which had all the bark on them ARE NOW FREE. These FREE RAILS vary in length from under 40 inches to over 6 feet. Nearly all have their bark ON.

HOW TO GET THE FREE ONES: if you come up and buy 50+ of the Rails, you can pick through the FREE ones and take 20 of them too.

Below are pictures of all the DRY Rails I have. ASK ME for larger pictures if you want them. I do have more, still drying.

Having just mailed 8 of my Rails to England, I started looking for them in the bush again. They are a LOT more work; harder to saw, harder to carry out of the bush and harder to skin.

One application of the stick is to make hand rails for inside of houses and campers. I own a Motor home and for the inside hand rail, I installed a piece of DW and have had many nice comments on that. A friend of mine, also installed a handrail in her house going down into the family room and has had numerous nice comments. We have used a piece slightly larger in diameter than a walking stick and it seems to work out just fine using the normal handrail hardware (brass).

Internal railing system (in a log home.....) (like around a stairway.....) Or as someone said: a railing across the edge of our loft bedroom in our cabin.

These Rails have been SOLD: 7, 50, 60, 76, 110.

First, Rails 1 - 50: (US$18 each)

Note the depth of the diamonds in this 3D picture; if you cannot see the depth; try to focus on a point about 14 inches behind your monitor:

Next, Rails 51 - 90: (US$18 each)

Next, Rails 91 - 120: (US$18 each)

And, Rails 121 - 137: (US$18 each)

And, finally, the SUPER RAILS: Rails 138 - 146: (US$25 each)

AND, there are 50+ new ones harvested in 2008, drying. Some are incredible!

I have a good crop of "HUGE ones" too; see them at http://www.sticksite.com/bigones.htm.

Here is an example of how the RAILS can be used:

Or around your deck

See what "Marcy and Jerry" in WA wrote and look at the fantastic job they did on their deck. And they didn't even sand the Rails:

"Thanks, Ken-we love it! Jerry used Chevron Shingle Oil on the rails. No, we did not sand them! The oil is essentially the same as the Baer product but tons cheaper. We use it on the siding of the house also. Just slap it on and it's done. I sent the pics so you could put them on your site if you chose to, so go right ahead. We still want to make a trip up your way--don't know when."

And here is what they did:

Thanks, Marcy & Jerry!!
