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.
To order items from Graeme or to provide him with horn, please call 204-467-9127
or email him at ghmtam@gmail.com

2011 National Sheepdog Finals Blog
This link is to a blog profiling the handlers going to the US Border Collie Handler's Association National Finals in September. There are some Canadians being profiled in the most recent posts. The last post was about Amanda Milliken of Kingston, ON. I just read the most recent one about Scott and Jenny Glen (Alberta, woot woot!) There is some pretty sage advice in there for anyone in this hobby. Plus it's just more enjoyable reading about herding, for the obsessed. Nice write-up Jenny!
