jolly old elf getting more than he bargained for on an off-season
fishing expedition. David Sabol demonstrates his traditional wood
carving techniques, taking the reader through each step from wood
blank to finished carving with clear, step-by-step instructions and
color illustrations. The finished carving is brought to life with
color staining techniques and given a hint of age with antiquing
methods David describes in detail. Patterns are provided for six
classic Santas in a variety of poses and for the venerable Mrs.
Claus as well. A color gallery shows each of the finished patterns
to fire the imagination of every carver. Carvers with basic skills
will enjoy the challenges, and advanced carvers will be delighted

Make those central stars of storybooks come to life. Children's
favorites, like the relaxed, pipe-puffing rabbit ambling home with
carrots tucked under his arm, are here in an exhibition fresh from
the imagination of veteran carver David Sabol. This gentleman
rabbit is presented as the feature carving project, crafted from
unseasoned (or green) white pine with a separate cherry pipe. More
than 260 color photographs and clear, concise instructions guide
the reader through every step, making the process both enjoyable
and rewarding. Techniques for placing glass eyes, wood burning
details, and applying color stains to the finished rabbit accompany
the wood carving instructions. Seventeen patterns and a color
gallery of additional storybook animals going about the business of
their storybook lives are provided to inspire new and advanced
carvers alike.
Mice make wonderful carving subjects. Their high-speed antics and
busy, scampering ways always attract attention and are the stuff of
countless stories. The carving project presented here features an
industrious mouse who, having gathered up a plump strawberry for
dinner, has paused to enjoy the cooling shade of a strawberry leaf
before heading home. The mouse, strawberry, and strawberry leaf are
carved separately from unseasoned (or green) white pine. Over 230
color photographs and clear, concise instructions guide the reader
through each and every step, making the process both enjoyable and
rewarding. Techniques for soldering brass, placing glass eyes, and
applying color stains to the finished mouse accompany the wood
carving instructions. Twenty-one patterns and a color gallery of
additional storybook mice caught in the midst of their busy lives
are provided to fire the imagination. Carvers with basic skills
will enjoy the challenges and advanced carvers will find David's
detail work fascinating.
