Have to give @Ashton Daniels credit for this idea, I just put my own twist to it. 6-7 months ago I cut several tops from straight River Cane and put them in my inside shop to dry. I picked the straightest and started sizing a wiping stick for my .62/20 Trade Gun. I had a worm on hand that I secured with Jute twine and epoxy, then glued and stitched an Elk hide handle on the end for a good grip. Put on a little dark stain and rubbed in a coat of T&T/gum turpentine mix. The worm takes Tow nicely.
