Make those central stars of storybooks come to life. Children's
favorites, like the relaxed, pipe-puffing rabbit ambling home with
carrots tucked under his arm, are here in an exhibition fresh from the
imagination of veteran carver David Sabol. This gentleman rabbit is
presented as the feature carving project, crafted from unseasoned (or
green) white pine with a separate cherry pipe. More than 260 color
photographs and clear, concise instructions guide the reader through
every step, making the process both enjoyable and rewarding. Techniques
for placing glass eyes, wood burning details, and applying color stains
to the finished rabbit accompany the wood carving instructions.
Seventeen patterns and a color gallery of additional storybook animals
going about the business of their storybook lives are provided to
inspire new and advanced carvers alike.
