Tom Wolfe Goes to the Dogs: Carving Dogs

A great book for beginner and would recommend to any seasoned carver as a good addition to their library!

what a great carving book. Easy instructions and great patterns and pictures

My husband loves to carve animals especially dogs. A friend of his wanted a particular dog so he needed help carving it. This book helped. His friend now has her dog and he has a hobby.

Not bad .

was very helpful during carving

Love this book.

Was looking for something for a beginning woodcarver but this one didn't work for me. Three pages of patterns were just about all side view coloring line drawings and half of them were just mirror images that could have be accomplished on a copier. One top view that didn't seem to be related to the carving. Only one dog was carved, and that was dog with bandange wrapped around its paw. Nice carving but wasn't all that helpful .The photos were not very helpful since lighting caused a lot of shadows on the carving. The other finished carvings shown were so dark and small it was hard to see details. I like Tom Wolfe's style and carvings and his classes might be great, he was selected as carver of the year by Woodcarving Illustrated, and he is a prolific author but I'll have to actually look at other books written by him before I decide to buy one.
