The specialized art of carving gunstocks is very popular
with both hunters and crafters. Many hunters commission artists to carve an
image replicating a successful hunt on their gun or rifle which is then
displayed to commemorate their catch. This type of woodcarving can be very
lucrative and now carvers of all levels can learn this process from start to
finish with this new book by Bill Janney.
This book provides everything a carver needs to get started in the art of
gunstock carving. The author offers an overview on the special tools required, a
reference section on gunstocks and wood, a step-by-step demonstration in full
color photography, and over 25 patterns including:
- Deer
- Elk
- Duck
- Hunting Dogs
- Rams
- Big Game: Elephants, Rhinoceros, Lions, and Gazelle
- And more
The patterns are meant to be photocopied and placed on the gun, providing a
traceable outline to following while carving. Also included are patterns for:
- Basketweave background
- Fishweave background
The book also features:
- A step-by-step demonstration for caving a running buck—presented in full-color
from beginning to end.
This book will appeal to intermediate carvers and especially those looking to
make money with their craft.
