From that obit:
---
Thousands of fans have seen his cartoons, but I suspect that only a few
have seen his wood carvings. Perhaps the most remarkable is a cane
decorated with leaves and feathers and stars, and the faces of 11
different men. The inscription at the bottom reads, ''December 1993/This
osage orange walking stick was made for Gene R. Wolfe by Joe Mayhew.''
Someday I may let you touch it. But only if you're very, very good.

I wonder if Wolfe can make any of the faces talk?
