Book Overview: Carving Wooden Animals
This practical guide belongs to the Art category. E. J. Tangerman, a carver for more than fifty years, uses examples of American folk art and carvings from other cultures to show the range and vitality of animal carving.
The 130-page book begins with basic questions about whittling and woodcarving. It then moves through graded projects, from simple knife-only carvings to more complex pieces such as the Minotaur, the Centaur, circus horses, and relief carvings. Chapters cover South American animals, Mexican primitive carvings, stylized silhouettes, beavers, butterfly mobiles, dinosaurs, Greek peasant carvings, machine-roughed carvings, ivory, bone, stone, shell, nuts, and D-adzes.
