Walking Sticks and canes are a favorite wood carving project for both beginning carvers to the most advanced woodworker. This free, online project by Lora Irish will take you through the basic techniques used in choosing your wood staffs and sticks, wood carving cane toppers, cane construction, and finishing used for walking sticks. Learn how to use wood burning in your cane carving to clean the joint lines of your carving and add fine details. Explore the different steps you can use to add bright, bold painted coloring.

An Ancient Love Story – Wood Spirits V2
19 pages that include the classic mythology of this beloved icon, exploration of the different styles of Wood Spirits and Greenmen, and 14 ideas and patterns to use in your Wood Spirit carvings.
Cane toppers can be carved to show a favorite item, hobby, or occupation. They can also tell a story. This cane topper pattern shows the story of a large fish, being hugged by a turtle, swallowing a medium fish that is being hugged by a frog and is swallowing a small gator that is eating a mouse. Thus its name “Food Chain”.
