Does anyone know where I might get a pattern or a roughout of a nice Whitetail Buck? Â*I'm really interested in the bust only. Â*Has anyone done one of these? Â*Let me know.

Thanks,
Bob

Â* Â* Hey Bob, I have a great book by Todd Swaim, it's Carving Trophy Deer & Elk. Â*It was a big help to me when I carved my whitetail deer bust...that and all the ones hanging down in my husbands hunting room!! Â*Actually, the one I carved is a mixture of different ones he has, but the book had lots of very helpful information (even though it was for power carving, which I don't do). Â*Coating the antlers with superglue, for example and clumping a little wood filler around the bottom of them to make them more realistic. Â*As mentioned, my husband is quite the outdoorsman and he really liked how 'realistic' the deer turned out.
Â* Â* You should also check out your local library, they probably have books that would help. Â*Good luck, Callynne

Thanks for the tip. Picked up his book this week and you were correct. Outstanding! Just what I was looking for.
