Bought a flat sided big stick from Master Eirik. This one wasn't as symmetrical as the last couple I bought from him and tended to be more flat on one side and more round on the other. Which side it was varies, so I'm guessing it's a product of the rattan not being super straight. Damn nature and all its imperfections It's a nice stick though and will make for an awesome sword. Pics when I get the sword built.
