Featuring several carving styles, such as relief carving, carving in the round, and piercing, the manual teaches readers how to add decorative marks to a bowl, how to transform a plain breadboard with a simple design, how to apply lettering to a curved surface, add low-relief carving to a milking stool and bedpost, add decorative elements to furniture, add a 3-dimensional form to a box, use pierce carving on a mirror & plate, and shape a smooth pestle and mortar. The first book of it's kind, Carving on Turning originated from a series of articles in Woodturning Magazine. Carvers will love this book as it proves how easily curved surfaces can be carved.
