Review: Not super detailed but self evident directions - A fun book that has good examples and patterns and pretty much assumes that most have a knowledge of sharpening and cuts.
Review: Excellent starting book for carving - This book provides lots of plans and very good instructions for those starting to carve figures. It also has some excellent directions and instructions on painting and sealing those that you have completed. While detailed instructions are only provided with one figure, with a little thought the approach can be applied to the other figures. As an improvement it would have been nice for the follow on figures to provide a general approach to each figure, e.g., hat first, block nose, rough pants, etc. It would be a big help to us beginners. With respect to paint colors, I would forgo the "flesh" color that the author recommends and just leave the flesh colored surfaces natural wood. The natural wood color looks much better when sealed. BTW - To use these plans effectively you really need a band saw with a 3 inch opening. Instead of making templates for each figure, I just a copy of the plan, cut out the front facing figure, use spray contact cement to adhere it to the wood blank, and cut it out. Then double side tape the cuts off back on, flip the blank 90 degrees, and glue on the side view of the pattern, and then cut that.
