From chimeras to gargoyles, this step-by-step tutorial to making these mysterious figures guides beginning woodworkers through the entire carving process and includes finishing techniques to fully capture the haunting and humorous expressions of these popular ornaments. After mastering traditional water-spouting gargoyles and classic grotesques, a pattern gallery of rowdy characters and functional projects—including a gargoyle cane-topper, a green man door knocker, a crouching imp, and a screaming keystone grotesque—provide new challenges for experienced carvers. A directory of where to find surviving gargoyles around the world complements fascinating information on the symbolism, legend, and lore of each spirited creature.
