Sticks are essentially practical aides but are also works of art
that often become integral to the owner. They have to be strong and
reliable, but are beautiful too. This essential book covers all
these qualities - it explains the traditional principles and
methods of stickmaking, but also celebrates the designs and ideas
behind these creations. Written by an award-winning stickmaker, it
provides a full account of this age-old craft. Topics covered
include materials, equipment and tools required to make a variety
of sticks from timber, antler and horn; stick types and shapes;
preparing timber to make handles and shanks; straightening shanks;
making joints and exhibiting and competing. This new book will be
an inspiration for all stickmakers, both new and old.
