Woodcarving
Create beautiful carved masks, birds, shields, plaques, and more. This unique two-in-one format makes it easy, by allowing you to turn the pages of each half of the book separately. So when you`re working on a lamp, or a frame, you can just flip to whatever technique you need. The spiral binding always lies flat, too. Most important of all is the incredibly detailed technical information: choose the best wood for your carving; use and care for tools properly; draw sketches, plans, and grids; construct models; transfer drawings to wood; master several types of cutting; work the spokeshave; fill a split; strengthen thin forms; and lots more. Plus, there`s project after wonderful project -- 23 in all, arranged in order of difficulty. Try a Cheese Board; Table Lamp; Simple Lidded Box; Bowl; Mask; and Zodiac Sign. You`ll get the technical know-how to create your own designs, and adapt patterns with ease!
