5 out of 5 stars The Golden Eagle: A Behind-The-Scenes Look at the Art of Bird Carving   January 30, 2008

Simply a fabulous book, by a fabulous bird carver. But I agree that many will find the project too daunting for all but the most professional bird carvers. This is, nevertheless, an incredibly beautiful book and one that the reader can dream with. Just reading it, even if you never try to tackle something on this scale, is an extraordinary pleasure. The only real criticism I would have is that there might have been clearer liaisons in how he got from one stage of the carving to the other. Not that much of it isn't implicit. I guess I would just like a bit more "hand-holding." Get his other books as well. Scholz is truly at the top of the heap in bird carving.

Scholz continues his leadership in the field. This book is very interesting but it seems unlikely that many will have the expertise or dedication to duplicate his effort. Want something you can use? Get his DVD on Carving a Kestrel. However, get this one to see how the master creates a masterpiece.
