Take your woodworking for a walk! From rustic walking sticks to fancy canes, woodworker and author Charlie Self, shows woodworkers of any skill level how to craft more than a dozen different staffs in Make Your Own Walking Sticks. Whether your woodworking customers are looking for something simple and practical, or seeking to make a statement of craftsmanship, they’ll find everything they need to know inside this fun and easy-to-follow book. The first section of Make Your Own Walking Sticks covers what woods to use, the tools and hardware necessary, and the basic construction and finishing techniques to complete each project. The second section is devoted to the 15 projects ranging from a simple pine branch cane for the beginner to a brass-handled and stylishly turned, two-piece cane for the advanced woodworker.
