With a knife and just a gouge or two you’ll carve and bring to life “Johannes, the “Farmer,” “Kristina, the Farmer’s Wife,” and more wonderful, old-world people in the Scandinavian “flat plane” style of carving. Clear directions, front and side-view patterns, and step-by-step photographs show you exactly how to make a few simple, well-placed cuts. Generally, no sanding or smoothing is used. This is the figure carver’s handbook, for beginners and experts, and the collector’s must-have!
