Synopsis:
“Based on the authors’ classic Stick Making: A Complete Course, this concise introduction is made for the beginner. From cutting and seasoning sticks to decorating and dyeing, every aspect of this traditional craft is covered. Learn safe heating practices on a thumbstick; try out coloring techniques; and use alternative materials like ram’s horn along with wood. A color gallery shows off sticks, crooks, and canes.”—Chip Chats.
Book Description: This handbook based on the 2007 revised edition will also become an essential guide for those interested in learning the processes and techniques involved with the manufacture of a range of traditional sticks, outlining the processes in a clear, straightforward manner and using a wealth of diagrams and photographs. It also contains valuable, up-to-date information on where to source the raw materials for stickmaking, how to find, cut and season wood and where to locate materials such as ram and buffalo horn. This book is equally accessible to stick enthusiasts, amateur craftsmen and experianced professionals alike.
