86 Cane Patterns for the Woodcarver - Tom Wolfe - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

86 Cane Patterns for the Woodcarver - Tom Wolfe - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Forever fascinated by canes, the author has always collected them—he even has his grandma's and grandpa’s walking sticks. And, as a professional woodcarver, he knows there’s a good market for them. Walking sticks come in three basic categories: the cane, which is a walking aid or a gentleman’s walking stick; the staff or hiking stick, which is head-high; and the chest-high quarterstaff, which Tom’s grandpa used to call a “thunk stick.” Each of these types is generously represented among the 86 patterns in this book. Their designs include everything from fish to dragons and birds to beavers. This is a valuable reference book for all carvers.

Carving Fancy Walking Sticks - Tom Wolfe - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Carving Fancy Walking Sticks - Tom Wolfe - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Of all the things that Tom Wolfe carves, none is more popular among collectors and students than his canes and walking sticks. Following the success of his fancy cane book last season, Tom is sharing some of his techniques for creating a fancy walking stick. The difference is in the size and shape of the creature. A walking stick is usually longer to provide more support for the hiker, and has a knob at the top rather than a handle. This knob provides the carver with many possibilities. In this book Tom carves a woodsman's head. He takes the reader through the process from the beginning of the carving to the attachment of the head to the shaft and the decoration of the shaft. Each step is illustrated with a color photograph and a clear explanation. The gallery give other ideas for carving the knob, and patterns are provided for several of them. A great book for new carvers and old pros.
