By Chris Pye A beginner's guide to traditional techniques. Akin to having a one-on-one carving course with a master carver, this resource—a collection of tips and tricks
honed over many years—mentors newcomers and serious beginning woodcarvers alike. A comprehensive guide for those
who want to learn carving, this manual provides a handful of lessons, including how to choose the best woods, safe tool
handling tips, making cuts, and executing a variety of techniques. The careful step-by-step instructions that are explained in a
warm conversational voice help novice crafters find quick success and encouragement as they work on a number of carving
motifs and three projects for both relief and in-the-round styles. For serious beginners eager to know more about a timeless
craft, this go-to reference provides an answer to every question.
