Carving the Historic Western Face

Learn to carve the qualities of a true ‘Old West’ style face into your next project with the help of this book. Bob Lundy takes the carver through three projects: The Cowboy, The Indian, and The Mountain Man. With informative instructions and clear photographs he goes from the raw wood to a finished, realistic portrayal of these characters of the old west. A gallery of 16 other figures is included to inspire the reader with other ideas.

This book is written for both the beginner, who is looking for complete how-to information from start to finish, and for the veteran, who is interested only in a tip here and there to improve their work. Lundy approaches his work with an eye for the personality of the characters. He will instill that sensitivity to the reader, giving the carver a feeling of closeness and intimacy with the characters who emerge from the wood.
