The Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes and Walking Sticks

By Harry Ameredes

Book Overview

Canes and pipes, especially those made from found materials or by unsophisticated craftsmen, have long been of special interest to carvers and collectors. This guide collects over 200 pen and ink sketches of canes and pipes executed over a period of 35 years by an extraordinary folk artist. These sketches, very impressive in their own right, depict a strange and wonderful group of objects, many with fanciful carvings of mythical or imagined people and animals.

Customer Reviews

An excellent book of designs and sketches...

This is an excellent collection of cane and pipe designs! The designs are quite imaginative. While some are impractical, most make very good walking sticks. This is not a book for neophyte cane makers, but a great addition to your shop library
