Whittling the Old Sea Captain, Revised Edition (Fox Chapel Publishing) Step-by-Step Photos and Patterns for Sailors, Buoys, Lobster Traps, Wooden Crates, and Oars, with Carving & Painting Instructions Paperback – November 1, 2013

I carve cowboys! Well, now I carve cowboys and seamen. This book is crisp and well detailed in the process and produces a excellent carving (or three.)

One of the favorites up here in Maine..!! Always popular, and now it appears I can easily do some variations myself..!! Book makes it simple to follow through the whole procedure. Worth the price..!!

nice patterns good pictures

I like Mike Shipley’s books for the patterns.

Good book

This book has step by step instructions and drawings to create the Old Captain, his First mate, and his Second mate, as well as suggestions for buoys, lobster traps, and oars. The book is well written and well illustrated.

just as i'd hoped. complete instructions backed up by complete illustrations. on second thought, it's even better than i had hoped!

Mike Shipley is one of the best caricature carvers in Americal This revised edition is easier to follow with all the step-by-stepphotos in color.
