“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.
