Al and Trinka,Chapman Each year many wellused and wellloved Christmas trees are discarded at the end of the holiday season and are too quickly forgotten. By carving next years Christmas ornaments from the trunk and limbs of this tree, you can save some very special memories for you and your family! Using parts of the trunk, you can carve elves, Santas, angels and more. Incorporating the branches sticking out from the trunk, you can carve angels blowing heavenly trumpets, elves with long noses, and goodnatured Santas with drooping hats. 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 stepbystep 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. 215 x 279, 100s colour photos ,88 pages, soft cover
