With renowned carver Harold Enlow as your teacher, both beginner and advanced carvers will learn expert techniques to produce a realistic Santa carving. Santa is one of the best-loved and most popular carving subjects. Enlow’s Santa is a mixture of realistic features with a few exaggerated features that pay homage to the classic poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Most of the facial features that make this Santa look kind and jolly can be adapted to other carvings where you may want to illustrate those feelings. Kit contains a high-quality, hand-cast wood stained resin study stick detailing four carving progressions, as well as a 32-page instructional booklet with step-by-step instructions and coordinating photography, making this a must-have addition to your woodcarving library!
