Essential Woodcarving Techniques


Essential Woodcarving Techniques
Dick Onians | ISBN 1 86108 042 5 | PDF | 192 pgs | 64mb

Woodcarving covers many different techniques and tools, but here I concentrate on carving with chisels. Chain saws, angle grinders and other machines are referred to as useful aids, particularly when roughing out a carving, but the greatest skill and sense of achievement comes from carving with chisels. The best way to learn carving is by watching it being demonstrated and then practising under the eye of a constructively critical teacher. This book is therefore intended only as a guide, and it will he seen that for all but the first two projects - chip carving and the carving of mouldings.
