Provides patterns and instructions for carving over 20 characters in wood. This title helps readers find step-by-step carving and painting instructions for a Scandinavian inspired man and woman.

Little in size, but big in personality! With just one carving knife and two simple patterns, you can carve a whole community of characters in the Scandinavian flat-plane style. Acclaimed artist Harley Refsal will teach you how to carve more than 20 characters in wood- from Monk to Police Officer and Lumberjack. In Whittling Little Folk, you will find step-by-step carving and painting instructions for a Scandinavian-inspired man and woman. Once you have learned to carve these two projects, you can use the same technique to complete patterns with some subtle alterations. Also included is a brief overview of the Scandianavian flat-plane style of carving, as well as four different views of each project for a complete 360-degree view of the character. The figures in Whittling Little Folk vary in complexity- there are projects for the beginner as well as the seasoned carver. They're fun, and won't take too much time- a caricature carver's dream come true.
