Songbird Carving II Rosalyn Daisey is a unique book that can be appreciated on two levels.  First of all, as a step-by-step set of instructions with exquisite photographs and hand drawn illustrations.  In addition, techniques of carving, texturing, painting and mounting of the four songbirds projects.  Finally, as a work of art unto itself.

Songbird Carving II Rosalyn Daisey   What’s in it!

The four songbirds projects featured are Robin, Blue Jay, House Sparrow and the male and female Cardinal.  To compliment the instructions there is also a chapter on the basics of carving song birds. The carefully organized text and clear step-by-step illustrations provide an unsurpassed guide to this form of carving.

Exquisitely illustrated and comprehensive, this is the main source of information for realistic songbird carving.   Daisey and Kurman have again combined talents to products this second book on songbird carving.  Kurman has taught bird carving at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.

Furthermore, the painting instructions with pallets and detailed color plates have been carefully assembled and are worth twice the price of this book.

This is another great book and another of Pop’s favorites. Hard Cover
