Product Description

Woodcraft Magazine
"The author...has an artistic eye and a solid technique...illustrations show...small details and painting."

Product Description
This complete reference details the unique whittling technique invented and mastered by Chris Lubkemann for producing perfect curls of wood that can be used for carving birds, evergreen trees, and flowers. Photos and drawings accompany detailed instructions for producing amazingly convincing feathers, needles, and flower petals. One "Rooster" project guides carvers step-by-step through the entire process. Both beginning and advanced whittlers will benefit from this updated edition, which includes both basic techniques and complex patterns.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, 14 May 2008
By J. Delaney - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is ideal for the beginner who is just starting out on a new hobby of whittling. It gives you details of all the equipment you need and close up pictures of the techniques for the cuts etc. However the majority of the projects are cockerels - cockerels leaning back, cockerels leaning forward, cockerels looking up - depending on the angle of the fork in the twig. For inspiration for a wider range of projects you need to look elsewhere.
