Description

Jointed dolls are an ancient concept. As a folk art in the American Appalachians and elsewhere, Dancing Sams have used the jointed idea to create a dancing motion when moved by a vibrating board for hundreds of years.

When Tom Wolfe was visiting the British Museum in London, he came upon an Egyptian doll that was constructed just like the Santas in this book.

The jointed Santas in this book are delightful. They can be easily posed and made to do a variety of things. And they are easily carved, following the step-by-step color photo illustrations.

From the carving to the joint construction to the painting, Tom makes it easy for even the novice to carve these Santas.

The more advanced carver will also enjoy the carving.

In addition to the Santa carved in the book, there are patterns for 8 other jointed Santas, plus a nice sleigh for Santa to ride in.

The gallery photos give perspectives on each of the carvings, an invaluable aid to the carver.
