First Christmas Projects for Woodcarvers

Welcome to carving. This isnt a complete work or an everything-you-wanted-to-know book, but rather a starting place to begin the adventure of sculpting wood. The book introduces the new carver to safety considerations, the fundamentals of sharpening, carving knives, palm carving tools, and helpful aids for carving. First Christmas Projects features a Stocking Ornament, a Sleeping Santa Ornament, and a Snowman. The projects were designed with the new carver in mind, though experienced carvers will enjoy the ease of carving these delightful decorations. The step-by-step photos and text will lead the carver through the three projects. Additional Christmas carving patterns are included. A pictorial gallery includes completed carvings of the three featured items.
