 | The company I was buying my canes from seems to have gone bust. Can anyone recommend a source for marine grade finished rattan canes? I'd rather try to avoid finishing them myself, but need the benefits of the finish.
Thanks

Um, isn't it a bit difficult to put much force behind a whack when doing it underwater, though?

No Brian, you misunderstand. A "marine grade" cane is designed to be used by Marine Corps drill sergeants.

Damn. I was thinking this was the sort of canes one uses on Marines. I was ready to stock up and head to the nearest base. Guess I got all excited for nothing...

Heh!
Thinking of the Corps (as I listened to the band play this morning), I'm reminded of this line:
"Because no one is fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave."
Not wishing to get off on a rant here, but that one line proves that we've got the wrong guy as President!
