Classic Carving Patterns
Classic Carving Patterns is an inspiring collection of beautiful designs for carvers, wood burners, and painters from beginners to full-time professionals. This creative treasury of classic design ideas and patterns for enhancing wood is presented in full-size outline drawings that can be used right out of the book or transformed by the craftsman's imagination into endless personal designs. Browsing through this fascinating resource, the reader will discover traditional patterns like lions and eagles, intricate leaf and floral patterns, natural patterns like grapes, oak and acorns, and whimsical patterns such as winged dragons. Classic Carving Patterns even includes detailed pencil sketches to help visualize the final dimensions of carvings and shading lines of wood paintings. No woodcrafter reference library can be considered complete without the inclusion of Lora Irish's Classic Carving Patterns.  --Midwest Book Review--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
