A Valuable How-To Reference from One of the World’s
Leading Wood Sculptors
In Carving Classic Female Faces in Wood, noted sculptor Ian Norbury gives
woodcarvers a thorough, how-to guide to bringing out the beauty of a female face
from a block of wood. Using hundreds of photographs and drawings, the author
provides in-depth instruction on carving two different adult faces—one European
and one Afro-Caribbean—and one child’s face.
Inside, both beginning and advanced woodcarvers and sculptors will find expert
guidance on tackling the unique challenges of carving a female face, including:
• Anatomy of the female face
• Taking photographs and producing patterns
• Step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow patterns—with hundreds of
full-color photographs of models and the carving process
• A photographic gallery of finished carvings to provide inspiration for your
own work
