Joseph E. Meyer. I was wrong about the publication date. It was first published in 1918 with eight editions, the last in 1971.PG Who was the author ?
Have you ever heard of Thomas Hansen the bird carver from your neck of the woods?
Over the years I have known a dozen bird carvers, but this guy doesn't ring a bell. I got stuck at home during a blizzard years ago and thought I would try it. The only wood in the house was an old peach crate. I had to laminate a double layer to get it thick enough. Not great, but I only used a pocket knife and did it in two hours including painting.
