Carving Figureheads & Other Nautical Designs
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"When early seafarers first set sail...bold, larger-than-life symbolic images of power and defiance were mounted on the front of ships, in the hope that the `spirit of the ship' could vanquish evil and protect sailors from harm--thus the rich tradition of carving figureheads was born. Now...today's woodcarvers can recapture some of that old-time glory in 15 exciting projects....With full-color photos, plenty of practical advice and troubleshooting tips, and clear illustrations, even new carvers will be able to produce colorful, adventurous pieces."--Chip Chats. "A fun book to have in your library."--Carver's News.
