Favordrory (100 PCS) - 40cm Wood Craft Sticks Natural Bamboo Sticks Extra Long Sticks Can be Curved, Strong Natural Bamboo Sticks, 100PCS

Smaller than what I needed. Otherwise, appeared to be a good product.

I've been using these extra long craft sticks for several different kinds of projects & I'm quite satisfied with them. I've read some negative reviews where people complained about wooden craft sticks that were warped or bowed. I expected to encounter some warping or bowing because they're WOOD, but the ones I got are just fine.

I saw an idea on Instagram to add another level to the traditional board and batten look. I used these sticks to mimic pole wrap, ya know, that wooden stuff around the 90’s basement support posts. Anyways, couldn’t find any pole wrap anywhere, so got these to DIY the look. I hot glued 158 of these and it wasn’t so bad, until it was painted and it really showed how uneven these sticks are. There were many gaps between them because the sticks simply aren’t perfectly straight, are rounded or bowed/warped, and some of them were split or so far from being straight that I just couldn’t use them. I probably pulled about 10-15 unusable pieces from one pack. I ended up having to put spackle between each piece and then sand it down. These made the process difficult, tedious, time consuming, and overall came out okay but it would have looked much better with just a roll of pole wrap. These weren’t terrible, it just depends on what you need them for. If you’re going for a perfectly straight lined up look like I did, search elsewhere.The first photo is the final look, my photos uploaded in a backwards setup.

Like for a he most part

...but not by much. I'm trying to arc this about an inch from tip to cent and they break. I'm going to try taping two together since that will work for my use but if you need to "Curve" them, don't count on much give. Maybe go with plastic.
