DESCRIPTION:
al streetman said Folk bird notes. This book was writen for carvers who have a little time on their hands to create something, but not as detailed as a complicated carving. These are simple little bird and fish patterns, done in a folk-style method (both carved and painted). They make colorful additions to brighten up the home. J. Sowers said Incomplete Patterns. There were no top views of any of the many bird patterns in this book.All the fish patterns had top views. I was disappointed and tried to call Al. He provided a phone number in the back of the book and that number was disconnected.If it had top views of the birds like it did for the fish, I . "Two Stars" according to Steven H. Sherard. Just passable.
In full-color photography, Al guides the carver step-by-step though the carving of a bird and a catfish, providing not only careful instructions for carving but also for painting and presenting each piece. Here are 20 patterns for bird and fish, with a simplicity that makes the carving process quick and enjoyable, and the final product charming and elegant. Al Streetman takes devoted readers and beginning carvers alike back to the wonderful world of folk carving, which leaves less to the rules and more to the imagination! In older days, folk art was a way of transforming plain everyday objects and materials into decorative accent pieces to brighten the home. The basic patterns make either wonderful learning tools or a solid foundation for more intricate carvings.
