| Stickmaking: A Complete Course | | They're practical, decorative, and even elegant: Stickmaking: A Complete Course
By: Andrew Jones and Clive George
They're practical, decorative, and even elegant: a walking stick or
cane, with a vee or with a crook, is one of the most useful and
satisfying crafts items to make. Enjoy the entire process, from
venturing out to find the perfect piece of wood, to bundling and
seasoning the raw sticks, to carving, assembling and varnishing the
magnificent finished projects. A master of the art reveals the
insider's tricks of the trade, including what to look for when you
gather wood; which flaws can be remedied; how to shape and straighten
your stick without splitting it; and how to cut to size, fit a
ferrule, and shape a handle. Begin with a basic vee-shaped thumbstick,
or if you have something special in mind, dip in anywhere--you'll find
the style you're looking for. Try a variety of simple, one-piece
walking sticks, four Cardigan sticks, wooden crocks and market sticks,
ram's horn and antler sticks, buffalo and ram's horn crooks, carved
sticks in wood and horn, and a medley of fancier models.

solid wood planks, the tools and materials required, using the scroll

shading with hot sand, and finishing. Four patterns ranging from
simple to challenging projects are included as is an extended gallery
of finished works to inspire the marquetarian in you. |  |
