Canes by Graeme MacKendrick |
Here in Manitoba we are blessed with a very talented carver of horn canes.
Graeme MacKendrick of Balmoral. Manitoba has carved his way into many a heart and home. Traditional walking stick shafts are made from hazel wood but any hardwood can be used. Horns from domestic sheep are used for handles. It is hard to access enough horn for all of Graeme's artistic ideas. In the stockdog world it is a badge of honor to win one of these artistic prizes and they are proudly used at stockdog competitions.
Graeme MacKendrick also has a way with antlers and produces scenes that are breath-taking. Moose antler provides a beautiful canvas for his larger projects but nothing is wasted and small bits removed are also carved into other projects such as ear-rings, pendants, broaches, napkin rings, Christmas tree ornaments, letter openers, or buttons. Cribbage boards are another of his designs carved from elk antler.
