Patterns, painting and finishing instructions for how to carve three Bellamy style eagle figures.
John Haley Bellamy (1836-1914) was a folk art woodcarver from New England, best known for his eagles. His work is prized today by collectors, and has been copied more than any other artist from “the golden age of woodcarving.” These symbols of America in his unique style makes them ideal projects for carvers of all skill levels.
Learn about Bellamy himself, and see 293 color photos of his eagles, with step-by-step instructions. This informative guide discusses the tools, with instructions on how to carve three differently styled eagles (“Portsmouth,” pilothouse, and soaring). Instructions include gold leaf application as a finishing detail. Patterns are provided.
