Like Merle I will poly some sticks, depens on the bark. Sicks with a thin bark like hawthorn or holly and others the bark will hold up a bit better than the thicker barks.

I have dimpled a couple knives using my foredom. My experience was the time to do that was not worth the effort I did not notice any real benefit. And after a day of carving it took more time to clean the tool dirt and saw dust building up with the oil from my hands in the dimples.

Sorry Eddy your right...
