Realistic or caricature?

If you are not too far from Pigeon Forge, there's a woodcarving school in Townsend.

www.woodcarvers.com

Found the following on carving heads.... might be something that you are intested in. This book will not be available until April.

I linked Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers above. I don't know if they do busts specifically, but they are the closest school that I know about.

(Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers = www.woodcarvers.com)

Smile Re: Bust Carving
Most busts are clothed and so it is hard to tell if they are real or not. Especially if you are in CA

Greyhair, you don't know how many of us are staying away from this thread, knowing how much trouble we could get in to. I learned my lesson on the "how do you carve a sea gull" thread. Sometimes a little levity is appreciated, and sometimes it isn't.
