old Sneaky Pete here: Actually my request is rather mundane. I have a hiking staff I cut from a Malaluka sappling and I want to use an empty casing on the bottom end to keep the wood from getting all buggered up-so I would cut the top of the case just below the shoulder and rubber cement the staff inside the case. I saw in a "Cheeper-Than Dirt catalog that they have dummy shells of each so if I knew the case dimentions I could buy the correct size.. I hope that I don't sound too weird--but then what can you expect from an old retired S/F, M/sgt. THANX--SNEAKY
