  The art of the Northwest Indians requires only a crooked knife and a small selection of gouges to produce designs, curves, patterns and faces. This work shows you how to saw, carve, whittle and paint your way to creating masks, bowls, rattles, amulets and totem poles from this ancient tradition. Each project opens with a brief introduction to place the carving in its cultural context.
