AUTHOR: Andrew makes a wide range of sticks, but it is his specialities - horn crooks and Cardigan walking sticks - which regularly earn him top honours at major competitions throughout Wales. He and his wife now live near Lampeter. Clive George: A life-long interest in stickmaking, and a fortuitous meeting, led him to collaborate in the production of this book.Product Identifiers
