This first-rate guide for beginners in wood sculpture is well thought out and executed, featuring exceptional illustrations and original designs. In response to student requests for a concise text on wood carving, Charles Marshall Sayers, a renowned teacher and craftsman, authored this book, which remains the finest resource for novice wood sculptors. Sayers uses clear, straightforward language to guide readers through the fundamentals, covering tools and materials, as well as techniques for incised carving, relief carving, and other cutting methods. He discusses suitable woods, stains, finishes, and methods for preparing wood, including how to construct a workbench. The book includes 34 illustrated designs for various projects, encouraging students to develop sound techniques while creating beautiful, functional objects. All projects require only four tools: one straight parting tool and three sizes of straight gouges. Readers can create items like cabinet panels, borders, table aprons, mirror frames, bookends, and more. While aimed at beginners, experienced carvers will also benefit from Sayers' innovative designs. The book is stimulating, featuring large photographs that illustrate each process, showcasing actual work by Sayers and his students.
