Abstract:

The Sage of Belwood, Flay Willis, carves walking sticks he sells at his general store in Belwood Mall. Although his canes typically sell for around $100, his finest work is given to friends and fellow Masons. Not limited to North Carolina, President Gerald Ford and Senator Jesse Helms are a few people of influence who own Flay Willis canes.
