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 your project with instructions for his simple painting technique to achieve professional-looking results. Using these techniques, you'll then be ready to start whittling the 13 beautifully illustrated projects which range in difficulty, building on the skills and techniques used in each. You'll start with projects that build upon each other, adding a new technique and skill for each. You are then ready to start the next set of simple projects, further refining your whittling skills. You're now ready for the step-up projects that include a pineapple, a vase with a rose, and a wood spirit. 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.
关于作者
David Young started whittling in early 2019 when he stumbled on carving and found that it clicked for him in a way other hobbies hadn’t. David learned from experienced carvers by reading their books and following along with their online videos. As an author and instructor, he focuses on designing simple carvings that use repeatable patterns and processes, making it easy to teach others how to recreate his designs. A regular contributor to Woodcarving Illustrated, David’s first book is Whittling on the Go. He welcomes carvers trying his designs and sharing them on social media.
