Product Description
Product Description
This practical manual is aimed at satisfying the needs of both the complete beginner, and craftsmen engaged in other forms of woodwork requiring instruction in relief woodcarving. The first part of the book covers the selection of tools and timber, fairly simple project work, finishing techniques and safety. Part two is devoted to more advanced projects including comprehensive data on texture and finishing treatments. There is a checklist at the end of each chapter highlighting the new points which have been covered.
Ingram
Designed to help even beginning woodworkers master the basics of relief woodcarving, this book has been carefully structured to build up skills through a series of projects and exercises, and is fully illustrated with photographs and line drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a must for beginners,
This review is from: Decorative Woodcarving (Paperback)
When I wanted to learn how to woodcarve, I checked this book out from the library and found it so helpful that I bought it. It guides the beginner through all of the necessary skills, like picking out tools and wood, sharpening tools, the basic cuts, etc., then it goes on to show how to do a woodcarving, using detailed instructions and very helpful diagrams and pictures. Other books that I looked at recommended buying large expensive materials (such as an electric grindstone and a full workbench) but this book starts you off with just the bare essentials and allows you to work up at your own pace.
