SynopsisBeginning with a plain block of bass wood or white pine, leading wood-carver Tom Wolfe shows you how to create bunnies and bears that are the epitome of "cuddly." Tom Wolfe's carved bears, in their original form and as reproductions, have found their way into the hearts of people across the nation.Beginning with a plain block of bass wood or white pine, Tom shows how to create a menagerie of bear and bunny characters that are the epitome of "cuddly" and will be beloved by children and adults alike. These projects are perfect for the person who carves for relaxation. After bandsawing the patterns, they can be completed with the simplest of tools: a knife, a gouge, a veiner, and nailset. Tom helps the less experienced reader with the basic skills required for carving. Those who are more experienced will value a few of the secrets and shortcuts he has learned over the years. Full-color photographs and text instructions accompany each step. The projects can be adapted so that your bear or bunny will take on a different character through its size, position, and/or color. Your imagination is all that is necessary to make the changes., This book grows out of many requests we have received for animal carving books in general, and for Tom Wolfe animals in particular. His raccoons and hounds have graced the pages of his previous books. His bears, in their original form and as reproductions, have found their way into the hearts of people across the nation.
