These are the perfect project to make for your favorite golf fan, to sell at a craft fair, or to sell online. Here are helpful hints on how to get started as well as details on materials, equipment, and finishing. After that, you'll get step-by-step instructions for carving the "Rise and Shine" caricature golfer, including every stage of the process. There are twelve projects in all, including Judging the Distance, Perfect Form, Concentration, No Sweat, Nearly There, Please Oh Please, and Yes.

This issue's book is one of Fox Chapel's new ones. It covers the caricature carving of one of my favorite subjects

About the Author

Bill is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from the North Hills area. He has been carving for almost ten years, and he has found that being a cartoonist helps a great deal to visualize the pieces he carves. His comic strip, Sergeant Stars and Stripes Forever, ran in syndication through NEA, Cleveland, Ohio, for 20 months during 1972 and 1973. It appeared in approximately 300 newspapers nationwide. His cartoons have also appeared in Leatherneck, the magazine of the Marine Corps, in the early 1990s
