Gunstock Carving

With step-by-step demonstrations, detailed colour photographs, and reproducible patterns, this resource guides the carving enthusiast through potentially lucrative projects from start to finish. The specialised art of carving gunstocks is very popular with both hunters and woodworkers. Commission artists customise their clients' guns with a personalised image of a successful hunt as a commemoration of their catch. This resource provides carvers of all levels with everything they need to get started, including an overview of the special tools needed and a reference section on gunstocks and wood. Over 25 traceable patterns of game such as deer, elk, ducks, and rams are included, as are background basketweave and fishweave patterns.
