Product ReviewsCarving an 1880s Western Train : Its Passengers and Crew by The Caricature Carvers of America (2009, Trade Paperback)

Very Interesting Project These Guys Did

Not really a work to do or step by step instructions, it's more of what these guys did as a joint project. There are a few patterns of people in the back of the book but not for beginners. They are to poor to follow.
All in all it is a great read to see this project as it unfolds. It's really cool.Read full review...

Very descriptive

This book has some very good ideas for caricature carving, particularly in the theme of the 1880s trains. The book has very good photographs and exhibits some fine talent among America's best caricature carvers. There are some patterns you can use, or better yet, you can use the photos to create your own ideas.Read full review...

Very appropriate title but NOT a" HOW TO" book

Very interesting book along with the other two carving examples in the same genre. All three are great in showing what a variety of skills carvers have.An interesting book that should inspire all carvers to have the desire to achieve skills beyond their present level.Read full review...
