Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes and Walking Sticks: A Sketch Book of Designs for Collectors, Woodcarvers and Artists
Editorial Reviews Book Description Canes and pipes, especially those made from found materials or by unsophisticated craftsmen, have long been of special interest to carvers and collectors. This guide collects over 200 pen and ink sketches of canes and pipes executed over a period of 35 years by an extraordinary folk artist. These sketches, very impressive in their own right, depict a strange and wonderful group of objects, many with fanciful carvings of mythical or imagined people and animals. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. About the Author Harry Ameredes was a steelworker by trade and a prolific folk artist on his time off. The sketches he drew of his handmade canes and pipes came to the attention of the president of the National Wood Carvers Association, who with great excitement found a publisher for them. He lives in Weirton, West Virginia. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
