Woodcarving by Chris Pye
This first volume deals with the selection, sharpening and maintenance of woodcarving tools. Truly sharp edges are essential for effective carving, and the author's detailed instructions and clear illustrations show how the right results can be achieved every time. Though the emphasis is on traditional chisels and gouges, the use of power tools is also covered, and ancillary tools such as mallets, abrading tools, knives, punches and scratch stocks are all considered in detail.
Chris Pye has been a professional woodcarver for more than 20 years and writes extensively on the subject. His previous GMC books are Carving on Turning (1995), Lettercarving in Wood (1997), Relief Carving in Wood (1998) and Elements of Woodcarving (2000).
