Laurie J. McNeil is a world champion wildfowl sculptor who has instructed students throughout the United States and Canada since 1985. Her common loon placed third in world decorative life-size floating pairs at the 2011 Ward World Championship. Laurie uses no knives and instead has developed her carving techniques exclusively around power carving. Working from a single piece of the highest-quality tupelo, Laurie creates one-piece sculptures that will stand the test of time. She demonstrates her techniques, from start to finish, in this highly anticipated book.
