"Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes, and Walking Sticks" is the remarkable work of (the late) Harry Ameredes, notable artist, woodcarver and sculptor. Spanning 35 years of work, these fabulous pen and ink sketches showcase Ameredes' styles ranging from fighting canes in a medieval style to one of a kind walking sticks crafted from tree roots and driftwood. This edition features a new, 8 page colour photo gallery of the author's finished work. It includes drawings that will inspire carving, woodburning and other craft projects.
About the Author
Most mornings, Harry Ameredes was up with the sun and working diligently on pen and ink illustrations in his West Virginia Home. The drawings of canes and pipes (or bastouni and tsibouki, as this Greek American called them) presented here are only a small fraction of the thousands of original drawings that Harry had completed over the years. Once retired from the local steel mill, Harry used much of his free time to draw and carve, which he found was a natural extension of his drawing.
