All of the techniques necessary for capturing the sleek beauty and
strength of dolphins and whales in wood are presented here. In direct
and basic language and color photographs Dale Power takes the carver
through each step in the process of creating a dolphin from basswood
with a combination of hand and power tools. Once the dolphin is
carved, woodburning and painting techniques are explored in detail to
add life to the work. Helpful hints for mounting the finished work are
included as well. Patterns for three dolphins and two whales are
provided as well as a color gallery showing a variety of dolphins and
whales in groupings which are sure to inspire. With full color
illustrations and explicit directions, this book is invaluable to both
the novice and the experienced carver.
