I have a lot of ash sawn and yet to be sawed . I wouldn’t even know how to make a proper ramrod. If i did i would make a dozen or so for future projects.

Osage Orange for ramrods?

I tried to make osage arrows. They are extra flexible and wouldnt spine up. I have a suspicion a ram rod would be worse at the extra length required.

I have never broken a wood rod. Had the cap come off one end of a factory wood rod once with a jag on it. My fault, didn't pin it first.

I use a Veritas doweler which is excellent for speed and more production but there is a simple and economical method that is very well illustrated in the link below. It's about arrow shafts but the methodology is the same for making ram rods. The only difference is that in making ram rods you will need a jig long enough to make the rods of interest.
