C'mon ya'll. It seems we're making something difficult out of something simple.
The guy wants something small to push with - for whatever reason. Our (ex)President was able to figure out something the same size and shape using (genus, species) Nicotiana tabacum and it held up to the stress.
He said he's a novice. Without knowing what tools and supplies he has at his disposal, if he were in the US I'd say get a 1/2 inch dowel or a clothes closet hanger rod, a rasp, and sandpaper and have at it. A 4' dowel would give him 8 shots at it.
Whatever he has left he can make magic wands or chopsticks with.
