Description
Carving Gargoyles Grotesques, and Other Creatures of Myth: A Step-by-Step Guide to Woodcarving. For centuries, gargoyles have adorned rooftops with their enigmatic expressions, serving both functional and mysterious purposes. Today, these creatures are a popular subject for woodcarvers seeking to add primitive ornamentation to their homes. Renowned woodcarver Shawn Cipa shares his expertise in this comprehensive guide, taking you through the entire carving and finishing process of traditional water-spouting gargoyles and class grotesques. In addition to mastering these projects, you'll discover fascinating legends and lore surrounding each creature, as well as original patterns for rowdy characters like the crouching imp and screaming keystone grotesque. You'll also find functional project designs, such as a gargoyle cane-topper and green man door knocker.
