Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Ornament is recognized around the world, wherever Western culture has had an influence. All woodworkers will benefit from an understanding of the artistic principles behind it and the practical techniques involved in carving it. Having introduced the basic elements of classical style in his previous book (Carving Architectural Detail in Wood: The Classical Tradition), Fred Wilbur now explains how the motifs evolved through the Greek, Roman, Romanesque, Renaissance, and Neoclassical periods. Clear color photographs present a wide range of source material, and the carving techniques are described and illustrated in impressive detail. A final project chapter gives examples of how these motifs can be brought together in the making of chests and mirror frames. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Wood Carving This manual, like that on Drawing and Designing, previously published, is intended to form one of a series in furtherance of the principles set forth in Mr. Leland's work on "Practical Education." It has rarely happened that a volume such as this latter, proposing (as one critic declared) nothing less than a complete revolution in Education, has been so favourably received by the public, and so highly approved by competent authorities, as was the case with it. Should it be unknown to any friends of educational reform into whose hands this handbook may fall, it is to be hoped that they will think it worth while to make themselves acquainted with the principles upon which Mr. Leland's practical manuals are based. As regards this in particular, it may be observed that it is almost the only one which treats Wood-carving in a general and extended sense, and regards it as an art widely applicable to ornamentation, and not one confined to small chefs-d uvre and prize toys, facsimiles of fruit and leaves, or the like. It is the first book in which the sweep-cut, which is the very soul of all good and bold carving, has ever been described. It may be added that the work has derived great advantage from the friendly interest taken in it by Mr. John J. Holtzapffel, for which the thanks of both author and publishers are due.
