Publisher's Synopsis
In this great accessible guide, woodworkers will learn all the tips and tricks for carving charming finger puppets or cane toppers as they complete three step-by-step projects: Fred the Frog, Tom the Cat and a Relief Carved Covered Bridge. After learning all of Oar's carving techniques, they'll be ready to move on to more amusing characters. To ensure every project is a success, each pattern is provided in detailed front, top and side views, with a colour photograph of the finished piece. There's even a handy list of paint colours to make finishing a breeze. And for anyone looking to turn the puppets into coat hangers, bottle stoppers or other functional items, design ideas are featured! Plus, 5 bonus miniature relief-carved landscape patterns are also included - beautiful scenic landscapes for woodcarvers to hone their relief-carving skills!
