With 250 clear color photos and concise text, Jose Valencia takes
readers through all the steps necessary to create unique carvings
on rifle or shotgun stocks. Learn to create and apply patterns,
remove factory checkering, and use a high speed power pen and
accompanying bits to create elaborate scroll, basket weave, and
maple leaf patterns, along with realistic wildlife carvings.
Adapting patterns to curved surfaces, sanding, and finishing
techniques are also shown and explained. Seven patterns are
provided for each of the carvings. A color photo gallery is also
provided for further inspiration. Once readers have mastered the
techniques for carving and finishing these patterns, they will be
able to transform standard gunstocks into works of art that will be
appreciated for generations.
Conservation of biodiversity is best achieved through the
management of natural communities, but progress in increasing our
understanding of communities remains slow. The study of Antarctic
communities can provide a valuable step forward in investigating
the control of community development, the utilisation of habitats
and the interaction between species in both species-rich and
species-poor communities. This book contains chapters
characterising the current approaches to both aquatic and
terrestrial communities in the Antarctic. From biodiversity to
trophic flows, from ecophysiological strategies to the impacts of
environmental change and the effects of human disturbance, this
volume provides an up-to-the-minute overview of community studies
in an area covering ten per cent of the Earth's surface.
