Whatever your carving needs, this treasury of Tom Wolfes dog patterns will be a valued tool. In his long and creative career as a woodcarver, Tom Wolfe has created literally hundreds of dog patterns. 90 of the best of these is offered here for the first time in print. Clear line drawings of a variety of dogs will give carvers all they need to produce wonderful creations. The breeds covered include everything from poodles to coon dogs, and dachshunds to terriers.

Should be Called Tom Wolfe's Sketch Book,
This review is from: Tom Wolfe's Treasury of Patterns: 90 Patterns for Dog Carvers (Paperback)
While the drawings in this book are well done and, many times, amusing, they by no means constitute patterns for the wood carver. The are nothing more than line drawings and as such, could be found in any coloring book of dogs.True patterns should consist of front side and back, or top views of the subject and Mr. Wolfe doesn't provide this for any of his drawings. What he offers is one view, mainly side view, of the subject, not true patterns at all. Mr Wolfe does state in his introduction that he shows only one view and that's because he prefers to work from one view, however Mr Wolfe is writing this book for the general public and most of us aren't quite as artistically inclined as Mr. Wolfe, something he should keep in mind. Also, I didn't know that the book contained drawings in the singular view until I'd order it, paid for it, received it, and read Mr. Wolfe's intro. By then it was too late. I would definitely not recomend this book to anyone who isn't an experienced carver.

Surely his worst yet,
By lila leeds "lila" (ottawa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom Wolfe's Treasury of Patterns: 90 Patterns for Dog Carvers (Paperback)
I loved Bonfire Of The Vanities, it's one of the best books
of the 20th Century. A Man Full was good but not great. This book of dog carvings was awful. I don't get it... was Tom Wolfe trying to be ironic?
