Easy Woodcarving by Cyndi Joslyn
Beginner carvers are presented with jargon-free instructions for eight skill-building projects in this copiously illustrated guide to carving in the round without a bandsaw. An introductory section acquaints novices with the art of carving and includes information on tool selection and sewing a carving tool kit and apron while shaded patterns help identify which areas of the wood block need to be cut. Since terms are clearly defined, no previous carving knowledge is needed to complete the introductory candlestick-making project and the basic carving skills learned while crafting the candlestick are built upon in the remaining seven tasks, making the projects a rewarding experience.
