Request for wood carving info

Jan 18, 2007 3 Replies

Hello, I am tentatively branching out into wood carving. Can you folks suggest a few beginner books or videos to get me started. I hope to carve some of my bowls as well as a bit of relief carving. Thanks to all.



Tough to go wrong with any of the books by this team.

Best of the chip carvers, in my opinion.

In addition to George's suggestions, check out Chris Pye:

Lots of good information online, and an opt-in newsletter too.

Hi Kevin

Carving on turnings by Chris Pye is good, and another one "Sculpting wood beyond the lathe" by Trend Bosch is also a good one and you could look at Jacques Vesery and also Andi Wolfe for inspiration.

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo
