The art of wood carving : a step-by-step guide to sculpting in wood / [José Teixido and Jacinto Santamera].

Teixido, José. (Author). Santamera, Jacinto. (Added Author).

Summary:

Woodcarving, with its cultural roots in African, North American, and Oceanic cultures, has been a powerful art form for centuries. The Art of Woodcarving reviews this rich history, then focuses on the properties of various woods and the sculpting, sharpening, and finishing tools used on them. Chapters are devoted to constructing the wood block, carving and handling the wood, and finishing and displaying the piece. Anchoring and amplifying the lessons just learned are detailed demonstrations of the creation of six sculptures.
For its clear, lavishly illustrated hands-on instruction and exhaustive coverage of every aspect of woodcarving techniques, The Art of Woodcarving is the ideal handbook for beginning to intermediate-level sculptors.
