HARTT,
DON 
| Don
will be teaching his Fancy Canes again and will do five one-day classes. The students
can schedule as many days as they want, from 1 to 5 days. However, he strongly
suggests you take at least three days. Out of the classes he's done so far, he
has never had anyone complete the project in less than three days. Some of the
patterns he installs on the sticks can be done in three days, but there are a
lot of patterns that cannot be completed in only three days. Time required for
completion is dependent upon the pattern the student chooses. If a student wants
to schedule three or more days, the days do not have to be consecutive. Also,
if someone signs up and pays for five days but completes their stick in 3 or 4,
they can receive a refund for the remaining day(s) they do not need. You will
learn how to put on a fancy pattern and how to carve and finish it. After this
class you should be able to do your own fancy cane without help from anyone. Extra
blanks will be available at a cost of $35 to $80. Tools required: carving knives,
gouges, and a background tool which will be available from the instructor for
$10. Don has a website where finished canes and blanks with an assortment of patterns
can be viewed at http://donhartt.googlepages.com.
