Elements Of Woodcarving

Author: Chris Pye
Pages: 164
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 8 1/4" x 11"
Item #: BK552
Price: $17.95
Produced by a master woodcarver and teacher and published by the Guild of Master Craftsmen in England, Chris Pye's new book on carving offers something for every carver from the beginner to the master. Copiously illustrated in full color, the book begins with an assessment of the tools required by the carver, proceeds to methods and drawing, and then ties the concepts of design, material and technique together through detailed analysis of ten diverse projects. The book finishes with a comparative analysis of the work of two master carvers--one of the 20th Century and another of the 15th. Whether or not you ever intend to pick up a carving tool, this book is well worth the cost for the photographs alone.
