    Harry Ameredes

    Most mornings, (the late) Harry Ameredes was up with the sun and working diligently on pen and ink illustrations in his West Virginia Home. An artist at heart, Harry discovered his natural talent for drawing while in high school. With the encouragement of Robert Ayworth, his high school art teacher, Harry entered some of his best drawings in a national scholastic art contest. To his delight, his work won first and second place honors. harry's drawing took a back seat during World War II. His Greek heritage and his ability to speak Greek made him a perfect candidate for the Office of Strategic Services. Along with other Americans who had strong ethnic ties, Harry found himself parachuting or riding submarines into occupied and threatened territories to work with the underground movement opposing Hitler. Once retired from the service and the local steel mill, Harry used much of his free time to draw and carve. He found that carving was a natural extension of his drawing. Realizing his ideas for canes and pipes in wood was quite a thrill. Of course, Harry was the first to admit that he had more drawings than he could ever complete in wood.

      I would like to give special thanks to my daughter, Nikki, whose constructive remarks made my work much easier, and to my wife, Ann, for putting up with me during those times when I was very involved in putting this book together. I would also like to thank Edward Gallenstein, editor of Chip Chats, for introducing me to Fox Chapel Publishing.

      FOREWORD

      Because there is very little information available on making pipes and canes, I wrote and illustrated Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes, and Walking Sticks as an aid for cane makers and pipe makers, whether they be amateurs, professionals, hobbyists, or craftsmen. This book is fully illustrated with original black and white pen and ink drawings of creative canes and pipes.

      The purpose of Fantastic Book of Canes, Pipes, and Walking Sticks is to foster the creation of original ideas. Creativity is needed when carving canes and pipes. There are hundreds of subjects—bird, animals, fish, human heads, Early American figures, portraits, and abstract—which I have illustrated in this book. The number of ideas on any of these subjects is unlimited.

      In abstract art there are no boundaries! Let your imagination run wild.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Most mornings, Harry Ameredes was up with the sun and working diligently on pen and ink illustrations in his West Virginia home. The drawings of canes and pipes (or bastouni and tsibouki, as this Greek-American called them) presented here are only a small fraction of the thousands of original drawings that Harry completed
