I wanted to get your opinion on using wood, stabilized with Cactus Juice, for strikers........
Do you think the dried Cactus Juice that's hardened in the wood could adversely affect the sound of the striker if the hardened cactus juice was out on the very tip that contacts the playing surface? I haven't done one yet, but was planning to use some old chestnut formerly used as farm fence rails as an experiment on strikers. i planned to stabilize it since its weathered pretty bad and has been out in the elements for 60-80 years.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
