Context

A Milton resident, "Cotton" Albertson, pursues the folk-ark of carving using a set of imported German-made steel woodcarving tools. His finished products include walking sticks, handles for collector's knives and other items. He specializes in "Spirit Face", a grotesque woodcarving of a human or animal face meant to ward off evil spirits. Spirit Faces and other wood carving are found in the great European cathedrals of the middle-ages.
