carver can capture the charm and nostalgia of an old-fashioned merry-go-round.
Frank E. Bud reveals the secrets of carving from photos to reproduce exact
replicas of classic creations; shows how to copy designs from original patterns
and add authentic looking details; and explains how to create a pattern from ANY
illustration. Make the animal miniature or full size: it’s your choice. Specific
projects include horses with elaborate saddles, blankets, jewels, and other
trappings; a dog; a hare; and a goat. 176pp

great book with some great patterns ...just named wrong in my opinion.
So ....Use up those wood scraps by carving pencil people! Patterns for pirates,
