Working With Wood Books

If you are looking to move beyond the standard store-bought basswood, this is the book for you. Just add Mother Nature's help, a few tools, and your new skills to turn out beautiful creations from "found wood."

You will learn all about burls, cypress knees (a popular favorite), driftwood, and even stumps. You will learn how to find, classify, and carve found wood through the step-by-step techniques.

The authors really went the "extra mile" on this one -- they spent two years interviewing top artists from around the country that exclusively use found wood. It's a great "learning book" that also doubles as a great conversation-starting "coffee table" book.
