Extract from back cover of book:
Carving real-looking facial features can be a challenge to even the most experienced carver. Now, with some help from carver extraordinaire Jeff Phares, carving noses and mouths in wood doesn't have to be such a struggle.
Through step-by-step photos, Jeff shows you how to correctly position the nose and mouth on your carving, how to create the proper shapes and how to correct common mistakes. He also includes information on anatomy to help you understand how the muscles of the face dictate expression. In-depth information on carving tools, carving wood and reference material round out this informative and instructive book.
About the Author: Jeff Phares is world-renowned for his realistic carvings of Native Americans, frontiersmen and soldiers.
