Description:

Now, you know everything about tools--so what's next? From preparatory drawings and modeling to the many finishes that make completed carvings glow, here's how you go about
creating the actual project. The section on woods itself should be required reading: after discussing the differences between hard and soft woods, it guides you through the process of conversion and seasoning, explains how to deal with defects like splitting and knots, and talks about storage and woodworms. Grain, hardness, figure,
texture, and durability: recognize these qualities that distinguish a quality piece, and what type of wood works for what type of carving. Follow the fundamentals of gluing up, including edge-to-edge, face-to-face, flat, and end-grain joints. See why applying finish is a must (for protection, sealing, enhancing) and examine some simple yet beautiful shellacs, oils, and waxes. Plus working from photographs, making plaster casts, carving safely, and more!
