Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspirational and informative book is designed to take the reader on a journey to develop their understanding of form, design, artistic creativity and technical knowledge in woodcarving. Seven innovative projects, which gradually increase in difficulty, introduce and build on important techniques for the reader to learn, practise and adopt. By working through the projects, the reader will become independent, enabling them to plan, design and accomplish their own ideas of form in three dimension. Each of the projects includes scale designs for the reader to use, guidance on what woods to select, a list of the necessary tools, a difficulty level rating, approximately how long it will take to complete and what skills will be learnt from making it. The reader is then taken through the carving procedure with clear step-by-step instructions on how to approach the form and details. Advice is offered on what type of finish to use, and finally the design of base onto which the sculptures can be mounted. The projects include abstract studies and real-life studies, aiding the reader in their exploration of the different art forms that can be created in the medium. Projects include:Wave, Fossil Form, Cat, Female Torso, Swan, Emperor Penguin, Humpback Whale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first step into a new craft can be overwhelming: Where to start? What tools to buy? What projects to begin with? Thanks to author and internationally acclaimed woodcarver Chris Pye, this guide is filled with everything a beginning woodcarver needs to know. Chris Pye's Woodcarving Course & Reference Manual is akin to having a one-on-one course with a master carver. You'll learn what to look for in a workbench, the importance of commissioning your carving tools – there's more to it than just sharpening! – and how to make exacting cuts and execute a variety of techniques. Like any good instructor, Pye includes practice exercises to make you comfortable with the tools and techniques so you can build your skills and carve with confidence. Pye's conversational teaching style will encourage you as you follow the step-by-step instructions and work on a number of motifs, as well as projects for low, high, and pierced relief, and in-the-round. With the help of Chris Pye, you'll learn to carve: four types of molding, a beautiful koi project in three levels of relief carving, a realistic baseball cap in-the-round, and a charming wren in-the-round.
