3 Coats of brush on polyurethane.

Thank you.

Black locust.

Thank you. I don't remember what they're called. I just youtubed "tying paracord" and looked for a knot that looked neat. The loops are simple braids. The shorter stick has 2 types of knot. The longer stick just one. I just kind of made up a way to tie them together, not sure if it's "right".

The sticks sat in my garage for over a year. I don't know, maybe 4 hours each, total. Sanding and tying the knots, took the most time. I've never really done much woodworking before. It's all kind of experimental for me.

I appreciate it.
