Summary

Stickmaking, the production of canes or walking sticks, is a popular traditional craft in Britain. Some sticks feature elaborate carvings or fancy materials while others are more functional. Gowan, a founding member and former chair of the British Stickmakers' Guild, guides readers through the production of a stick, from the selection and harvest of wood through assembly, decoration, and finishing. Several designs are considered some from one piece of wood and others that are composites of wood and other materials such as deer antler, horn, or carved wood. Of value to those who sell at craft shows or are interested in traditional crafts, this title could bring variety to large collections
