When Tom Wolfe published his first book on Woodspirits, Tom
Wolfe Carves Woodspirits and Walking Sticks, we had no idea
how popular it would become. Thousands of people saw it,
bought it, and asked for more. So here it is, a new collection
of Woodspirits, this time done in the traditional Bavarian
way. Carved from a section of a tree, the branch forms the
hat. Of course Tom brings his own inimitable style to the
carving, making it lively and creative. As always he takes the
carver step-by-step through the carving process. There can be
no pattern, because each Woodspirit springs from a unique
piece of wood. But the technique and the sequence of carving
can be easily learned through the step-by-step color
illustrations. A gallery of several Woodspirits will give the
carver many ideas about the variety and variations they can
obtain when they release the Spirits from the Wood. |
