Working With Wood Books

Lora S. Irish teaches you how to create beautiful projects quickly in this huge collection of patterns.

Small patterns give you a chance to experiment with new tools and techniques without a huge investment of time, money, or material.

So go ahead and pick up that rarely-used gouge, or even have a go at woodburning. You can discover the things you will enjoy best without taking on a huge project.

You'll learn about relief carving (of course!), woodburning, tole painting, and other visual arts and crafts. Enjoy making jewelry boxes, nameplates, house number plaques, wall hangings, trunks, tables, and more.

Subjects include landscape, wildlife, sailing ships, fruit and flowers, architectural elements like scrolls, and much more.

The Fruit Crate Apple project is explained step by step so you can hone your skills before tackling the one hundred other designs. 

This will keep you busy for a while!
