Generally ,I think you are reffering to the practice of BURNISHING the wood, in your shaft. If you have a dent free shaft, you can use a piece of leather or plain brown paper bag to rub on you shaft, till it becomes slightly warm. This will result in any uneveness or "fury" feeling in the wood to lay down & make the shaft feel "SLICK". A sealer can be applied at this time, to maintain the slickness & to keep moisture & dirt out of the pores in the wood...JER

BLACKHEARTCUES, thanks for your help.

JoeyInCali, I know I was setting myself up a bit with the question. Although I have heard the term "Slicking" used many times as a technique.

Slicking or burnishing a shaft

The material that I use is Q slick it will clean and burnish one coat will clean then the second coat you polish up to a very high sheen you can use some 1500 or even paper towels from the kitchen.
