"A primer for woodcarvers in the vocabulary of classical ornamentation, and the practical skills needed to carve it."--"Woodshop News." "Blueprints are provided for moldings, volutes, rosettes, and capitals. The geometry of these designs is celebrated as the author brings these ancient motifs into making present-day objects such as picture frames, mantelpieces, and gateposts."--"Chip Chats."

Here at last is a woodcarving book that lays the projects out chip-by-chip, with drawing-after-drawing to teach the craft in the most accurate way possible. With this book beginners don't have to guess how to position the knife or where to chip away. Clearly, explicitly, taking an many drawings as necessary - sometimes up to 50 for one project - the authors guide you through each project to the completion of handsome, useful, realistic finished pieces. The ten projects are actually ten lessons for building skill in carving techniques and developing confidence and proficiency in this age-old craft.
