Carving
a Friendship Cane
With Tom Wolfe & His Friends
(Schiffer Book for Woodcarvers)
The idea for the cane in this book came from the author's good
friend and fellow carver Claude Bolton. Both belong to the
Caricature Carvers of America, and the group was looking for
some way to honor a friend and supporter. Claude hit upon the
idea of a cane made up of many segments to be carved by various
members. In addition to Tom and Claude they include: Jack Price;
Peter Ortel; Steve Prescott; Harley Schmitzen; Rich Wetherbee;
Bob Travis; Dave Dunham; Dave Stetson; Keith Morrill; Joe
Wannamaker; Tex Haase; Doug Raine; Marv Kaisersatt; Dave
Rasmussen; Harley Refsal; Harold Enlow; Claude Bolton; Gary
Batte; Desiree Hajny; Pete LeClair; and Randy Landen. In the
gallery of this book you will see the results of their enormous
talents. Tom Wolfe takes the reader through the process of
creating a four-face segment for a cane. What you learn there
can be applied to any of your caricature carving or can be used
to create your own friendship cane, by yourself or in your
carving club. The cane you create will be a true token of
friendship and will be cherished for many years to come
Creative
Canes & Walking Sticks
(A Schiffer Book for Woodcarvers)
When Tom carved a walking stick in his book, Tom Wolfe
Carves Woodspirits and Walking Sticks, it was almost an
afterthought. But it was soon followed by a book devoted to
them, Carving Canes & Walking Sticks. Now
we are pleased to present a brand new book with original
patterns and different techniques to produce creative canes and
walking sticks. Also included are designs for
sword canes. As always each step is clearly illustrated in full
color and patterns are presented to aid the carver in his or her
own creation. A gallery of 25 canes and 11 patterns make this a
most useful aid to carving.

Tom
Wolfe Carves Wood Spirits
and Walking Sticks
Legend has it that the forest of the world are inhabited by
elusive creatures known as "Wood Spirits." Tom Wolfe finds them
everywhere and brings them to life in this delightful new
instructional book. Using found wood such as driftwood, roots,
and old beams from dilapidated barns, he leads the reader
through the carving of wondrous, fanciful faces, that are both
enchanting and beautiful. On a smaller scale, Tom also finds the
Wood Spirits in walking sticks, creating treasures that are
handsome and functional at the same time. Tom has been carving
these Spirits for years, and they are constantly in demand. Now
he leads the carver, step-by-step, through their creation, each
step illustrated in beautiful color photographs. An extensive
gallery is included, jam-packed with examples and ideas for the
reader's own work.
