Professional caricature carver Mike Shipley introduces you to a whole clan of colorful backwoods characters from his native Ozarks--from Delmer and Granny to Ol' Beau the coon hound. Whether you're a beginner just learning to carve, or an experienced carver looking for some new ideas, this book delivers plenty of fun, inspiration, and satisfaction. More than 100 step-by-step color photos guide you in carving, painting and staining the character of Delmer, using Mike's quick and easy "clean-cut" method that imparts warmth and personality. Twelve projects for carving the rest of Delmer's varied family offer distinctive patterns, each with an easy-to-follow cut-line. The author's painting and staining tips include his easy formula for mixing your own wood stain in a blender. "Whittling Country Folk, Revised Edition" also provides valuable "Getting Started" advice on tools, sharpening, wood, and safety, plus humorous down-home tales about each friendly country character.
