This book is a thoroughly practical approach to the art of figure carving. It takes the form of a progressively structured course of twelve projects, starting with simplified and familiar forms, progressing to complex and technically sophisticated pieces.

This is a book to suit all levels of ability -  from the beginner to practising woodcarvers with a good level of competence.

Each project is explained with stage-by-stage photographs supported by text carefully describing the procedures required to produce the finished work.

The book includes an introduction to woodcarving, chapters on wood, equipment, finishing, display, subject research, a comprehensive index
and some 200 illustrations.
