Hertford: Stobart Davies, 1994. . Hertford: Stobart Davies, 1994. Paperback. Very Good/----. About 9.5 x 8.5 inches. 159pp. Apart from a little bumping to the corners of the covers this book is fault free. Techniques of Creative Woodcarving is a thoroughly practical approach to the art of figure carving. It takes the form of a progressively structured course of twelve projects, starting with simplified and familiar forms, progressing to complex and technically sophisticated pieces. This is a book to suit all levels of ability: for the beginner who can start with a minimum of tools and consequently with the minimum outlay for equipment; for practising woodcarvers with a good level of competence and skill there is a range of designs specifically structured for the improvement of techniques with detailed treatment of eyes, hair, etc., and individual surface effects. And for the experienced carver, advanced projects provide the basis for design possibilities as well as the dedication necessary to achieve the desired result. Each project is explained and illustrated throughout with stage-by-stage photographs supported by text carefully describing the procedures required to produce the finished work.
