Carving faces is arguably one of the hardest things to do when woodworking, but it is an essential skill whether you want to create realistic carvings or caricatures!

Carver and author Alec LaCasse specializes in carving faces from various types of wood, and inside this book he teaches beginners how to simplify the complex forms of the human countenance using the rules of proportion, guiding you through every aspect of the face. Then, he teaches you how to put it all together with the correct cutting sequence to avoid making an accidental Picasso!
This comprehensive book features chapters on basic tools with sections on sharpening, handling, and safety, "Remember Circles", carving eyes, nose, and mouth, carving hair, and more. The author also includes an entire section on carving exercises you can do to synthesize the techniques from the rest of the book.
