With comprehensive details on form, style, and technique, this guide teaches carvers how to create realistic interpretations of North American wolves, foxes, and coyotes in wood. Color photos of these animals at play, at rest, and in various aggressive postures show carvers their external forms, and a primer on anatomy gives them insight on the internal structure of these canines. Five sample carvings demonstrate step-by-step the use of the techniques and tools used by the most skilled wood sculptors.

Waste of money,
This review is from: Carving Wolves, Foxes, and Coyotes: An Artistic Approach (Paperback)
I'm sorry I bought this book. Over half the book is taken up with history and physiology of the animals. If you want to learn wolf anatomy this book may be of some help.
The remaining part of this book has one practical project. But, it starts off assuming you have a roughout of a wolf then proceeds to show you how to fill in details in a very uninformative way, in my opinion. Guess I'm not a very good shopper.

This review is from: Carving Wolves, Foxes, and Coyotes: An Artistic Approach (Paperback)
I found this book very worthwhile. It is not a book for beginners, but it is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to make his carvings of wolves, foxes and coyotes realistic. There is only one project shown in its entirety, but this one project shows many details and techniques for making your carving true-to-life. These techniques can then be used for completing other canines whose patterns are included at the end of the book. The author has shared her abundant knowledge of the slight differences in the anatomy of each species shown, so that carvings will be realistic even to experts viewing the animals. Two pages I especially like are the list of Carving and Painting Do's and Dont's, and the Common Woodburning Mistakes. These pages show common mistakes and simple ways to correct them.

This review is from: Carving Wolves, Foxes, and Coyotes: An Artistic Approach (Paperback)
I was expecting more detail in the how to carve the figures. Also, i am primarly interested in carving Coyotes and that was not covered as well as carving Wolves.
