This instructional guide provides wood-carvers with all of the techniques necessary for capturing the sleek beauty and strength of dolphins and whales in wood.

Through direct and basic language and color photographs, wildlife sculptor Dale Power takes the carver through each step in the process of creating a dolphin from basswood with a combination of hand and power tools. Once the dolphin is carved, woodburning and painting techniques are explored in detail to add life to the work. Helpful hints for mounting the finished work are included as well.

• Patterns for three dolphins and two whales are provided.
• A gallery of color photographs shows a variety of dolphins and whales in groupings, which are sure to inspire future carving projects.
• Color illustrations and clear directions make this book invaluable to both the novice and the experienced carver.

Wood-carvers will learn everything they need to know in order to create majestic marine mammals of their own!​
