Working With Wood Books

Let's get back to the classics -- the sixteenth-century carved table, or an oak arm chair. Maybe a misericord seat or seventeenth-century chest. How about an Italian cassone, coffer, or an ornate nineteenth-century pipe rack?

Now you're talking about what this book is all about! And it doesn't just talk -- it offers 1,146 drawings and working photographs as well.

Even if you're a beginner (but a serious one!), the content in this book will help you along the way. It's well-organized, easy to follow, and precise.

Various methods are described: incised, pierced, chip carving, carving in the round, Gothic carving, ornaments, and more.

Projects include small boxes, bread platters, chests, chairs, and stools... and that's just the beginning. More advanced material includes tables, cupboards, cabinets, beds, sideboards, and even staircases!

A lot of stuff you won't find anywhere else.
