Cowboy Carving with Cleve Taylor

Offert en anglais seulement

Accomplished carver Cleve Taylor brings the hard-working western cowboy to life in basswood. A combination of exacting detail and wry good humor make his work unique. This book shares his carving methods for combining hand and power tools.

Discover Taylor’s techniques for creating western art from extensive and lively instructions. Each step is well illustrated with full color photographs. Once the piece has been carved, you will learn how to paint and finish it.

Patterns for four cowboys and a horse are provided, as well as a pattern for a unique flexible wooden body, which you can use to create a variety of realistic poses. While the gallery shows perspectives of various carved cowboys to fire the imagination and inspire the intermediate and advanced carver, thorough instructions offer an enjoyable and educational challenge for the beginner.
