  A projects-foundation course for woodcarvers to create realistic carved birds. Starting with research and drawing plans, the reader is guided through the stages of carving, painting, finishing with fine detail and assembly. The book concentrates on three complete projects of graded difficulty: a dipper, green woodpecker and common tern. There are also complete patterns for eight further projects: a robin, kingfisher, osprey, blue tit, great spotted woodpecker, swallow and goldfinch, with drawings, typical colour samples and background information on the subject's characteristics and habitat.
