Horse Carving

Step-by-step instructions show how to carve a realistic horse figure from wood. Master wood-carver Tom Wolfe brings his teaching and carving skills to provide step-by-step instruction for carving realistic horses, taking carvers through the steps of carving a frisky colt. Using hand and power tools, Wolfe creates the form, detail, and musculature that brings the horse to life. Each step is illustrated via a full-color photograph and helpful text instructions. Guidance is also provided for painting the figure. Included are gallery photos and patterns for the colt's sibling and sire, as well as those for several other horses. Wolfe's books on carving have been popular for decades, appealing to everyone from the newest learner to the most seasoned veteran because of the simple methods and obvious enjoyment Wolfe brought to his art. This book is a must-have for the library of any carver, especially those who love horses.
