3-0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners!
If you're looking for a step-by-step procedure with a lot of detail photos--this isn't it.Rather, this is a very basic intro to the Geisler-Moroder method of establishing the basic planes of the human face and head.If you have carved heads before, this is a good excercise in proportion and learning how to establish the reference lines for turning the head away from the "straight-on" look in most carving books.If you're shopping for a carving vacation spot in europe, this will definitely motivate a trip to the Geisler-Moroder school, which was probably the reason for this book.For example, in the photo section on types of finishing we find that the painted bust was painted:"with an 'antique painting' technique...and mastering it takes lots of patience, time and special skills".That was helpful, wasn't it? ...

2-0 out of 5 stars More advanced than I anticpated.
I thought that a book with this title would have a significant beginners section for a starting whittler, but it doesn't.The book is primarily apattern book with some hints for working the wood and possibly a shorthistory for pattern classifications.A redeeming factor is the patternshave a front and side shot.Complicated patterns, such as a dutch shoewill have exploded details.A nice book if your looking for what to donext.Not a good learning book for beginners.Bill Hampton(billsducks@aol.com)

2-0 out of 5 stars Not for begginers
I was disappointed in this book because I was hoping this would provide tips for someone with absolutely no experience to get started on. It doesn't do that. Basically, it has a lot of different patterns to use onceyou are already carving. If that's what you're looking for, it might be agood book for you. ... Read more

The carving drawings are ugly and demon-like.If you dig the bizarre, then this is the book for you!

4-0 out of 5 stars An excellent book of designs and sketches...
This is an excellent collection of cane and pipe designs!The designs are quite imaginative. While someare impractical, most make very good walking sticks. This is not a book for neophyte cane makers, but a great addition to your shop library ... Read more

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.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Textbook for Carousel Carvers.
This book guided me through one of the greatest challenges in my woodcarving experience. After a couple of readings to become familiar with the process and sequence of operations, I began a project which has brought me more pride, and sense of accomplishment than anything I've ever undertaken. From the design stage through materials and tool selection, technique of workmanship, to the final painting and displaying of the project, instructions are clear and include many tips and tricks of the trade. Professional results are assured. For the first time carver, no clearer and concise guide is now available in my opinion. My interest in Carousel Carving encouraged me to gather many books on the subject. After reading them all, I return to this book for its store of relevant information and instructions on carving an Animal. My daughter is the proud owner of an authentic hand-carved Carousel Horse thanks to Bud Ellis and Rhonda Hoeckley's efforts in creating this fine instruction manual. An excellent companion to this book is the "Atlas of Animal Anatomy" by W. Ellenberger et al.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is amazing!!
If you cannot get to the Horsin' Around Carousel Carving School yourself, this is the next best thing!Bud is a retired art teacher with a gift for helping you understand what needs to be done!The book has every element and every step needed to complete a carousel animal from start to finish.Lots of pictures.A must for the aspiring carver and excellent for the experienced carver as well.There are traditional patterns included, and information to customize your own animal.Whether you want to carve a horse, goat, zebra, rabbit, or something of your own design, this book is a great resource!

5-0 out of 5 stars Carousel Animal Carving: Patterns & Techniques
I think this is a great book. Bud Ellis provides precise information from how to have the wood prepared for carving, to tools needed to complete the carousel animal. The carousel in Chattanooga Tennessee is a wonderfulexample of some of Mr. Ellis's work. His book can't be beat. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Just the book I needed!
I'm not one to brag, but sculpting things out of wood always came very naturally to me. I recently sculpted a wooden statue of Pat Sajak that would knock your socks off. It's so life-like that it's almost scary.
5-0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Teaching Ice Sculpture
WOW! I've been waiting for an ice-sculpture book like this for years. As a chef-instructor that who has taught ice-sculpture as part of my Garde Manger class, it's been hard to find a book for the classroom. This text book has everything I need, including chapters on art, using power tools, safty, lighting, fusing, colouring ice, transportation, competitions, plus a lot more.The photos are great, with hundreds devoted to step by stepdirections on how to carve many interesting sculptures. The bookis well organized for instruction, withchapter objectives, keywoprds and a huge glossary of terms. I understand there is alsoa teacher's guide, but have not seen it yet. My only complaint is that the book was printed in soft cover. But for my students, the value is great. you can't beat this book, especially for the price. No boubt, it's the best ice-sculpture book on the market for teaching yourself or others to sculpt ice! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Get it! This is a book you will useagain and again.
This book, plus the three others in this series, are a super find for anyone doing bird or animal carving. It includes background info on each bird, instructions and most importantly, a pattern showing the side view, the top view and front view. Tips on making feet, how to texture and burn your bird are covered and suggestions for mounting are included. I am in a weekly woodcarving club and I have seen many of Lehman's projects completed and they looked really good. My husband won a blue ribbon at our county fair on the bald eagle made from patterns in this book. My only complaint, and it is trivial, is that I wish that information on painting the completed project had been included. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Patterns for all levels of experience!
Lora Irish is one of my favorite designers as her patterns are easy to follow and are very detailed.This book is one you will never want to part with.There are many different useful designs in this book well worth its cost.Now make some wood chips!
3-0 out of 5 stars Great carving drawings (patterns)
I have to admit, I should have taken the title more literally.This book has some beautiful patterns for those who are lacking the artistic inspiration (myself included in that list).What the book is lacking is the transformation process from drawing board to the actual works rendered in wood.The line drawings are truly beautiful, but some appear to be almost impossible to complete as outlined in the pattern.I would have appreciated more input from the author as to the techniques she prefers to achieve some of the artisitc effect of her drawings.The photos are too few and incomplete, and there is no reference to the rendering process for these lovely patterns.I was fooled by the cover photo depicting a woodworker's bench with a roll of carving tools and a partially carved project.I will keep the book for a reference should I ever become stuck for ideas on a particular project.I don't think it will become one of my most frequently usedbooks.

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding !
I have been attempting to learn carving & engraving techniques for sometime. I had reached a point where I had exhausted my resourses. I was out of ideas, and lacking enough experence to develop my own style. I believe I can do that now. This is a very well prepaired manuel. My Thanks, William Talley ... Read more
