In this book, Al and Trinka Chapman will show you how to cut your tree into usable parts, sketch out various figures that fit well into your wooden segments, cut, carve, and sand your figure, and finish it with paint and hanging hooks. They have provided step-by-step instructions for two projects a Santa, which was carved entirely with hand tools, and a herald angel blowing a trumpet, which was carved using power tools.
