big10mm Report post Posted March 28, 2012 I have a bison pizzle that I have rodded, dried, scraped and sanded. One of the forums from about 2 years ago said something about using alum is the drying process. What mixture of alum is used? How and when is it applied? Is pickeling alum the same as alum used in tanning? Is it necessary to use the alum.? There was also something mentioned about varnishing the pizzle. Any particular varnish technique used? Also will need a cane handle for this pizzle. Where can I find just a handle? Thanx for the info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
