Receive Carving Egg Heads Penned By Mary Finn Available As Volume

a year ago, my woodcarving friend John Panhorst taught a class on how to make egghead Santas.
Another woodcarving friend John Martineau who, along with Glenn May fashioned a blackwalnut gavel with gold lettering for my son Casey who is gonna be installed as Worshipful Master of his Masonic Lodge, but I digress loaned me this book as a way to beef up my "egg" carving skills, especially since it includes a Pirate Head! Now, anyone who knows me knows that I'm a BIG fan of "Talk Like A

Pirate Day" go to Dave Barry's website, you'll find all you need to know, including his article in the Miami Herald.
So this would be the perfect combination! I have about worn out the pages of this book, which also includes "study sticks" on eyes and noses the most frustratingly complicated parts of the face, a skill I am in dire need of! Well, I've completed three Santas and two Pirates and am happy as a clam I went and bought a new copy of the book to give to John, plus another one on egghead carving by Tom Wolfe.
This book is VERY recommended and I'll be going back to it several times, This book is the perfect start for anyone interested in learning how to carve detailed faces, Mary Finn uses her "practice stick" method to show you how to carve each feature eyes, nose, closed mouth, open mouth with step by step directions that even beginners will find easy to follow.
Then she shows you how to arrange all of these pieces into one wooden egg to make a convincing head! This method has helped hundreds of Mary's students, and is a surefire way to get started! "Egg head" projects included in this book are an old man, a pirate, and the Mad Hatter.
Mary shows you how to adapt her carving techniques to flatter surfaces to make jewelry like a bolo tie project and how to paint your pieces for maximum impact.
This book is terrific for beginners, and a great way for more advanced carvers to enlarge their skills.
