5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding woodcarving pattern and instruction book, January 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Carving Small Animals: An Artistic Approach (Paperback)
This outstanding book on small animal carving has strong emphasis on anatomy and hair tracts (the way individual hairs and tufts of hair flow on the animal's skin). Has accurate patterns for both red and grey squirrels (hard to find elsewhere). And the mother raccoon and babies are a challenge for the advanced carver. Desiree has a method of using pencil widths to control proportions which worked well for me...and her extensive sketches and photos of the live animals make this the complete reference for anyone who wants to carve these nifty creatures. Patterns are smallish, which means appropriate sized wood should be easy to find. Necessary tools are listed and demonstrated in the step by step photo instructions. Highly recommended!
