Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Covering both composition and technique, this skill-building guide unlocks the secrets to capturing humour and expression in caricature carving. Included is an in-depth study of composition and making clay models, enabling carvers to design their own patterns and projects. A special section on facial expressions includes photographs of human faces along with illustrations and useful reference information. A step-by-step project, Old Man with Walking Stick, is included, along with patterns for three alternate facial expressions: happy, grumpy, and surprised.

This book is the best learning book ever! You get deatils on how to make your project come out great! I would totally recommend this book to all woodcarvers. Thanks!

I got a lot of enjoyment out of carving this character. Mr. Stetson's
instructions and the step-by-step photos are easy to follow and you will be proud of the result. One caution: Mr. Stetson's old man has an over-the-horizon fixed stare that doesn't look natural. And so did my copy. Use care when you set the head. I made mine a fly-swatter to carry and now he seems to have a reason for staring at the ceiling!
I have most if not all of the caricature carving books and in my opinion this is one of the two best. Highly recommended.

I am a novice carver and so have several books on fibre carving. I clearly understood this well written book. The illustrations/photos are excellent and support the text well. I have a few friends who want to borrow it. I told them to buy their own at Amazon.

Dave Stetson is probably one of the top caricature carvers in the nation. He views the world around him in a unique way. His approach to teaching woodcarving stems from a desire to teach the student beyond the project, to enable the student to be more creative and carve on his own. This book allows the student to do that. The explanations are concise, with step by step photos and explanations. The photo gallery has a wonderfully diverse subject matter. And Dave's style of teaching is loaded with humor. It's a great addition to my woodcarving book library.
