[From Publisher] THIS BOOK IS A 'MUST' for the embryo wood sculptor and indeed for those who already have a knowledge of the subject. The author, an art master, imparts to the reader Hs knowledge of the craft in an easy manner, smoothing out the many difficulties which may confront him. After a pithy description of the tools, their sharpening, and the equipment and woods necessary, he takes as an example a simple but decorative fish shape and goes through the various stages of carving from A-Z. Every page of this book is packed with the knowledge of a man, who was at the age of seven exhibiting models in clay and Plasticine, and whose creative capacity has since never ceased to expand.
