With clear instructions and vivid color photographs, Al Streetman takes
woodcarvers through all the steps necessary to release a wood spirit
from a cypress knee. Using the shapes suggested by the forms of the
knees themselves, Al carves both a complete Santa figure and a Santa
ornament as the central projects of the book. Also included are a
listing of tools used in the projects, directions for painting and
antiquing the completed carvings, and a color gallery featuring
additional cypress knee Santa figures to inspire the carver. This book
will present interesting challenges to the novice and be a joy for the
more advanced woodcarver.
