The Book of Wood Carving

by Charles Marshall Sayers

In clear, straightforward language, the author carefully guides the reader through the fundamentals of carving — what tools and materials to use and how to use them.

There are lessons and designs for incised and relief carving, as well as notes on selection of suitable woods and their preparation, stains and finishes. The 34 illustrated designs for 34 projects encourage the beginner to slowly and methodically build a sound, practical technique. An excellent volume with superb photographs.
