Pick any pieces of scrap wood in your shop to make the two ends of the rainstick. To make sure it fits both ends, trace the shapes using the ends of the drying tube. The assembly is not perfect so this will insure you that the ends will fit the shape of the tube.

Once both ends are cut, find the center of the pieces and drill a hole the size of the wood dowel you will use for the project. I used a Fostner bit to make the hole and stopped about 1/16" before piercing the other side so we dont see the wood dowel when the rainstick is finished.
