Caricature Carving

Hello all,

I started this awesome hobby in May of this year (wood spirit on a
walking stick)and would like to play with caricature carving.

Now taking a class on carving the bust of a Native American in full head
dress. Gotta work on those eyes and cheek bones....

What reccomendations do you have for beginner books in caricature?

If it makes any difference, I'm a Canuk from the West Side (Calgary)

Thanks,
Robin

I presume that you have checked out Lee Valley, Chipping Away and
Thompson... If not, their links are on my web site...

See:

You might also look at Canadian Woodworking -- for the ads -- there is a
link for them as well.
