Caricature Soldiers: From the Civil War to the World Wars and Today by Floyd Rhadigan

Discover the creative art of caricature carving, and start making your own memorable versions of classic service personalities. Award-winning carving instructor Floyd Rhadigan takes you step-by-step through the entire process of carving and painting a gallant military figure. Patterns are provided for service personnel from the present day to World War II, World War I, and the Civil War. You'll learn to carve interesting characters from the Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy (including Shore Patrol), and Army (including WACs). Floyd reveals his distinctive carving techniques and shows you the basics of wood selection, tools, and finishing, along with inspiring color photographs of finished projects.
Floyd Rhadigan is widely recognized for his unique style of carving, a mix between Ozark and Flat Plane Scandinavian styles. He is a past president of the Caricature Carvers of America, and a winner of the National Caricature Carving Competition. He is the author of several books from Fox Chapel Publishing, including Carving Fantasy Characters, Carving Fantasy Creatures, and Caricature Soldiers. Floyd actively travels North America conducting woodcarving seminars and classes. His friendly, down-home teaching style is reflected in his highly accessible books.
