Default Caricature patterns

Can anyone recommend a couple of sources for caricature patterns? More interested in cowboys/civil war and hillbilly type patterns. Been working up the gumption to try one.

Thanks, Aaron

The Harold Enlow books have some excellent hillbilly patterns.

The first stop for anyone looking for free patterns should be Ol'Don's collections on....

Index

Back Issues, WWWoodcarver E-zine

You'll have to go through each issue of the Carver's Companion but it's worth of the effort. Besides, you'll also get a chance to make a collection of Pete LeClair's character's.
