How to carve wood : a book of projects and techniques

Bütz, Richard1984
Book
All you need to get started carving is a piece of wood, a small pocketknife and some quiet time to work. What you make is up to you. You might whittle small figures at the kitchen table, try your had at intricate ribbon moldings or even carve your own coat of arms.
