What I mean is keeping them in fine and safely applied condition.
I used to have six crooked-handled bamboo spanking canes but disposed of them recently when I moved this year (=!=).
I now use freshly whittled switches from good pedigree trees, shaved of all bark.

When using any form of wooden spanking rod, its essential they are soaked for around 24 hours with table salt, say in a bath overnight, to prevent them becoming brittle before being deployed.
Out of slight context with this thread heading, this treatment can also be applied to a wooden ruler or wooden yardstick.
Obvious enough this treatment does not apply to the synthetic fibre used in a riding crop or fibre dowl.
