Extract from back cover of book:
With a combination of simple instructions and over 220 clear colour photographs, Dale Power takes readers step-by-step through the process of creating beautiful wooden traveling canes with power tools. Detailed directions are provided for the creation of eye-catching cane handles, the installation or creation of screw mounts to join the two cane shaft segments, and for finishing the completed canes with stain.
A colour gallery of finished canes is provided for further study. This book will prove to be a rewarding challenge for the novice power tool carver and an inspiration for more experienced craftsmen.
