Carving Egg Heads

Carving Egg Heads

This book is the perfect starting point for wood-carvers interested in learning how to carve detailed faces.

Mary Finn uses her “practice stick” method to show you how to carve each feature—eyes, nose, closed mouth, open mouth—with step-by-step directions that even beginners will find easy to follow. Then she shows you how to arrange all of these pieces into one wooden egg to make a convincing head! This method has helped hundreds of Finn’s students and is a sure-fire way to get started!

“Egg head” projects included in this book are an old man, a pirate, and the Mad Hatter. Finn also shows carvers how to adapt her carving techniques to flatter surfaces to make jewelry (such as a bolo tie project) and how to paint your pieces for maximum impact. Full-color photographs and text instruction accompany each step, and a gallery showcases an array of projects. 

This book is terrific for beginners, and it offers a great way for more advanced carvers to enlarge their skill set.[AuthorName]By Mary Finn[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]A talented wood-carver and teacher, Mary Finn has taught hundreds of new carvers the fine points of carving faces. [/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]283 color photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle][/SubTitle][ColorPattern]283 color photos[/ColorPattern]
