This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the art of wood carving. In addition to interesting facts about wood, its drying and storage, you will learn everything about the necessary carving tools, the equipment of your workshop and of course the basic techniques such as notch, hollow or flat cuts. Detailed instructions and numerous easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrations illustrate the production of everyday objects, ornaments or fonts - and not least the high art of figure carving. Helpful information on the correct surface treatment as well as a foray through traditional wood carving regions in Germany complete this handbook, which is indispensable for both amateur carvers and artisans.

 

The author Helmut Schubert is a self-employed master wood sculptor and award-winning carving artist. He organises carving courses and has several teaching positions at various technical colleges for design.
