Críticas

...beautifully accompanied with photos, pland, and paint mixing charts. There are no cut corners in the execution of this book, including the content, photography, organization, layout, writing and editing. When I think about this book, I keep coming back to the thought that this is the best book I have read on bird carving. Not just songbirds, but all birds. Lori's technics and background knowledge can be applied to any bird you carve. This makes this book invaluable -- a must-have for anyone carving birds. I have purchased all the carving books and Workbench Projects as they were published. All have contributed in small amounts to my carving know how but nothing to the profound magnitude as your book!

Reseña del editor

This handbook provides all the tools and guidance needed to carve and paint realistic songbirds, including an overview of carving tools, materials, and safety. An in-depth look at carving techniques covers band-sawing basics and songbird anatomy, including instructions on carving the torso, head, and feathers. A special section focuses on the difficult task of carving the legs and feet. Three projects, the Mountain Bluebird, the Waxwing, and the Red-Breasted Nuthatch, feature natural history notes, male and female measurements, patterns with step-by-step instructions and progressive photographs, and paint-mixing charts.
