I just read that an stickmaker master has passed away:
http://www.artsticks.com/
http://www.artsticks.com/stix.html
I don't know how long his webpage will be still accessible, but maybe there is a way to request some of the images & info to be saved in the gallery of this forum, with the appropriate acknowledgments, of course.
This reminds me the situation with the wonderful and very useful website of Bob Goddard from Bedfordshire, UK (bobsticks.co.uk) which a couple of years ago disappeared. It contained a very nice gallery of antique canes and walking sticks, as well as Mr. Goddard's own sticks, plus a tons of useful info regarding shank wood selection, wood curing etc. It is a real pity this info has gone.
