Ekern delves deeply into patterns, history, painting techniques, and of course, carving techniques. This sprial bound book (which sits flat for easy reading) contains 15 new and different patterns. Gerald Ekern was awarded the Gold Medal in woodcarving in 1995 and has trained under some of the top carvers in the world. This is truly a great new carving book!
