Carving Award Winning Songbirds
by Lori Corbett (9781565231825)

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.
