Decorative Woodcarving: The Complete Course

Rating:
Summary: a unique experience
Review: I am the author of DECORATIVE WOODCARVING THE COMPLETE COURSE. This book is unique as it describes the real life experiences of a group of my students during their learning process. It encompasses the things that went wrong, how they should have been, why, and how they were corrected. It is a description of the reality of the learning curve for decorative woodcarving, about real people who started with no knowledge or skill and ended with a considerable degree of both. If you follow the text and illustrations, you too can enjoy these new horizons. We start with the background essentials of tool sharpening, drawing, modeling, and wood, and then move through a series of carvings each of which adds new skills and knowledge to complete the learning process.
