Fan-carving is the process of slicing wood into thin blades (feathers) and then twisting and interlocking them to create a 3-dimensional design from one piece of wood. Fans and birds are the most popular items made. Legends and customs associated with the fan bird are of a religious and spiritual nature. With the help of European museums, the Nyes have traced the history and migration of this Old World folk art from the ancient Russian region, through Europe, to North America. Preserving this folk art is the purpose of this book. It contains easy to follow step-by-step instructions on how to make fans and birds. Full color photos accompany each step. Also included are six full-scale templates: a fan, plus five birds. This book contains a comprehensive chart of twelve species of wood, each evaluated for its performance. Fan-carving is an entry level project to woodcarving. Within three hours a novice can create a very respectable bird. The story about fan-carving is as interesting as making a bird.

A world champion carver of raptors (as well as a master falconer), serves as your coach for carving your own fabulous birds. Greg Woodard shows how to create models that are painted, partially-painted, or all-natural. Sequenced photos illustrate every technique of every project. Where to start? How about a Golden Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Barn Owl, or Red-Tailed Hawk. An expert's tips take you through the delicate steps of inserting eyes and the details of lifelike feathering. A gallery of Woodward's own champion carvings lets you see prizes like "Cactus Flower," a preening American kestrel on a cactus, and "Hunting the Adobe," his natural wood sculpture of a prairie falcon chasing several swallows across a cliff colony.
