Next to
having a one-on-one carving course with a master
carver, this resource—a collection of tips and
tricks honed over many years—mentors newcomers
and serious beginning woodcarvers alike. A
comprehensive guide for those who want to learn
carving, this manual provides a handful of
lessons, including how to choose the best woods,
safe tool handling tips, making cuts, and
executing a variety of techniques. The careful
step-by-step instructions that are explained in
a warm conversational voice help novice crafters
find quick success and encouragement as they
work on a number of carving
motifs and three projects for both relief and
in-the-round styles. For serious beginners eager
to know more about a timeless craft, this go-to
reference provides an answer to every question.
