Wood Carving: Tools, Techniques & Concepts: RRP $49.99 Published by: Oratia Books
A new guide to wood carving for New Zealanders from esteemed craftsman and author.
After spending decades devoted to the art of carving, acclaimed New Zealand artist Stephen Myhre shares his expertise in his second book, Wood Carving: Tools, Techniques & Concepts.
This how-to guide covers every aspect of wood carving from selecting the right wood to understanding patterns and achieving the perfect finish.
‘The Kaupapa (purpose) of this new book is to meet the need for a coherent description of how to prepare, maintain and use a set of wood-carving tools to produce competent, good-quality work.’ Myhre writes.
‘Not all carvers need to become professionals, so this book is not aimed at them, but there are still many who want to carve and the teaching resources to do so are few and far between.’
Superb colour photos take the reader through every step of the carving process, and include examples of the author’s finished work.
