Whittling on the Go

Texte du rabat

Whether experienced or new to woodcarving, you are sure to appreciate the in-depth knowledge of the art form from author David Young. The book begins with information on what you need to know to start whittling including tools, materials, knife sharpening, and techniques. Next, David covers finishing with instructions for his simple painting technique to achieve professional-looking results. Using these techniques, you'll then be ready to start whittling the 14 beautifully illustrated projects which range in difficulty, building on the skills and techniques used in each. Each project uses a 1" x 1" x 'varying length' block and can be completed in less than an hour. The scale of the projects and the use of minimal tools and supplies make carving the projects possible in virtually any space or location.
