Carve your own authentic replicas, from full-size ones to miniatures but exact to the details, from the world's famous carousel animal designers. By following a special technique for adapting historic designs into modern conventional carving methods, you can create your own menagerie. Take your pick from: "Cherni's Lion", a 1910 Italian classic; "Flag Horse", a 1880 creation by the Dare Company; and "Lilly Belle", carved by a German POW in 1917 at Fort Leavenworth federal prison, USA. There are also more modern projects to try.

As a child, Bruce White loved the carved carousel animals he saw at carnivals, and he has devoted his life to creating these handmade works of art. He has worked for manufacturers of carousel animals, and studied the rapidly disappearing companies that were devoted to this craft. This book is offered in the hope that others who share his fascination will be inspired to save this dying art.
