This captivating book is meticulously crafted for both novice and seasoned woodcarvers who have a deep fascination with carving a traditional Hopi kachina-style doll. With a wealth of experience spanning forty years, Tom Moore, a renowned kachina-style doll carver, delves into the rich history of kachina dolls and kachina carvings.

Tom's interpretations of these dolls showcase a blend of traditional elements, such as the iconic "belly-acher" pose, vibrant colors reminiscent of the 1980s style, and the increasingly popular all-wood approach favored by Hopi carvers.
In addition to the comprehensive guidance, the book features a captivating photo gallery that showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of these dolls. An extensive index of terms and a comprehensive list of tools and materials required for the carving process further enhance the reader's experience.
