Walking Sticks

First published in 1986, and back in print after a gap of three years, this guide offers clear, concise and well illustrated information on all aspects of the age-old art of stick dressing. The author examines the different woods and horns, the best tools and how to select and gather a suitable shank. He describes all types of stick - the wooden one-piece and two-piece, horn head, thumb stick and knob stick - as well as explaining each aspect of the dressing process.
