| About the Author(s) |
Clive George: After a career in the civil service, Clive took early retirement and, having bought a smallholding near Lampeter, went on to buy a few sheep to go with it. From these beginnings he and his wife developed the 'pantmeddyg' flock of pure bred llanwenog sheep which they showed successfully before selling up in 2004 and moving to the nearby county of Carmarthen. A life-long interest in stickmaking, and a fortuitous meeting, led him to collaborate in the production of this book.
Andrew Jones: Born into a farming family, Andrew has spent the whole of his working life farming in West Wales. An uncle cultivated his interest in making sticks and encouraged him to enter his work in local craft shows. He makes a wide range of sticks, but it is his specialties- horn crooks and cardigan walking sticks- which regularly earned him top honours at major competitions throughout Wales. He and his wife now live near Lampeter.
