Woodcarving

by Jeremy Williams

Published 28 September 1992
This is an illustrated step-by-step guide to carving a variety of original pieces from wood in both sculpture and relief. The projects have been chosen and arranged so that the woodcarver is able to progress methodically from elementary to more advanced work, improving on existing skills and exploring new ones. There is advice on choosing materials and equipment; on sharpening tools; on techniques required for each piece; on drawing and use of marquettes; and on methods of finishing.
