“A WOODCARVER IS ONE WHO CAN TAKE A SCRAP OF WOOD, BREATHE LIFE INTO IT WITH PATIENT, SKILLED HANDS, AND MAKE IT A WARM OBJECT OF LASTING BEAUTY. THAT IS CREATIVITY,” SAYS CRAFTSMAN BEIDERMAN AND JOHNSTON IN THIS WELL-ORGANIZED AND HIGHLY INSTRUCTIVE GUIDEBOOK THAT TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CREATE ATTRACTIVE WOODCARVINGS.

THE AUTHORS PROVIDE A DETAILED YET EASY TO FOLLOW INTRODUCTION TO CARVING TOOLS AND HOW TO USE THEM. THERE ARE ALSO HELPFUL HINTS TO GUIDE BEGINNING CARVERS THROUGH DIFFICULT STAGES OF CARVING, AND EXPERT ADVICE ON PAINTING AND FINISHING, WOODCARVINGS AS GIFTS, HOW TO EXHIBIT AND ENTER CARVINGS IN COMPETITION, AND MUCH MORE.
