White, Bruce A., 1956-

Carousel carving : miniature to full-size, classics & originals / Bruce A. White.

New York : Sterling Pub., ©2002.

143 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 28 cm

Carve authentic replicas from outstanding full size ones to miniatures, but exact to the detail. By following a technique for adapting historic designs into today's conventional carving methods, you can create your own menagerie. Take your pick from "Cherni's Lion," a 1910 Italian classic "Flag Horse," an 1880 creation by the Dare Company and "Lilly Belle," carved by a German P.O.W. in 1917 at Fort Leavenworth federal prison. For more modern projects, try the Applebee Horse, seen in over 1,000 restaurants, or the winners of a national children's design competition.
