Carving in the Round: 7 Projects to Take Your First Steps in the Art
by Andrew Thomas
Carving in the Round takes readers on a journey to develop their understanding of form, design, artistic creativity, and technical knowledge in wood carving. Seven innovative projects, which gradually increase in difficulty, introduce and build on important techniques for the reader to learn, practice, and adopt.
Each of the projects includes scale designs, guidance on what woods to select, which tools will be necessary, the difficulty level rating, approximately how long it will take to complete, and what skills will be learned from making it. Clear, step-by-step instructions explain how to approach the details and form. Advice is offered on what type of finish to use, and finally the shape, size, and design of the base onto which the sculptures will be mounted is considered.
