The complete beginner's woodcarvers workbook - Mary Duke Guldan

With an X-acto knife and a bit of concentration, a beginning woodcarver needs only this updated manual to start -- and finish -- beautiful woodcarving projects. Wood type descriptions, 12 starter patterns, and clear illustrations on how to carve a sun and moon clock-face, carousel horse head, cherub, teddy bear, and dog are provided. An overview of the tools needed to get started is included, with suggestions on additional tools and techniques to use once proficiency increases. Both relief carving and carving-in-the-round are covered. This replaces 156523085X.
