Wood artist Chris Lubkemann has invented and mastered a unique whittling technique that produces perfect curls of wood that can be used to great effect in the carving of birds -- roosters, herons, pheasants -- evergreen trees, and flowers. Photos and drawings accompany step-by-step instructions for producing amazingly convincing versions of feathers, needles, and flowers petals. Both beginning and advanced whittlers will benefit from this new technique.
