I always wanted to make a pair for myself and after Mark posted all those beauty's he made I had a go at some ironwood and bog oak scraps.I need to try some different wood:slaphead:
 
Mostly you need to pay closer attention to the grain direction, I think!
 
Had something similar happen to a cherry sheath I made the other day.
 
I know that trick!
Just teasing you.

Spike hit it right on.
I haven't had much luck with other than straight grain wood with the grain running the length of the sticks.

Or, you could drill a hole the length of the stick and reinforce the stick with a dowel.
