Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes, and Walking Sticks, 3rd Edition: A Sketchbook of Designs for Collectors, Woodcarvers, and Artists
Canes and pipes, especially those made from found materials, have long been of special interest to carvers and collectors.  This sketchbook of original designs for woodcarvers and artists showcases a collection of more than 200 pen and ink drawings of canes and pipes, a strange and wonderful group of mythical or imagined people and animals. The Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes, & Walking Sticks, 3rd Edition is the remarkable work of the late Harry Ameredes, noted artist, woodcarver, and sculptor.  Spanning 35 years of work, these fabulous pen-and-ink sketches showcase Ameredes' designs ranging from fighting canes in a medieval style to one-of-a-kind walking sticks crafted from tree roots and driftwood.  This third edition also features a full-color gallery of his finished work and other inspirational pieces.
