Step-by-step illustrated instructions, in beautiful color photographs, through the creation of Wood Spirits, from renowned wood carver Tom Wolfe. 

Legend has it that the forest of the world are inhabited by elusive creatures known as "Wood Spirits." Renowned wood carver Tom Wolfe finds them everywhere and brings them to life in this delightful new instructional book.

Using found wood such as driftwood, roots, and old beams from dilapidated barns, Wolfe leads the reader through the carving of wondrous, fanciful faces, that are both enchanting and beautiful. On a smaller scale, Tom also finds the Wood Spirits in walking sticks, creating treasures that are handsome and functional at the same time.

Tom has been carving these Spirits for years, and they are constantly in demand. Now he leads the carver, step-by-step, through their creation, each step illustrated in beautiful color photographs. An extensive gallery is included, jam-packed with examples and ideas for the reader's own work.[AuthorName]By Tom Wolfe[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Tom Wolfe is one of the leading caricature woodcarvers in America.
