A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A package arrived in the mail yesterday from Fox Chapel that could change the way I carve. I have been a devoted hand tool carver since the beginning ... no mallets, no routers, no chain saws for me. I think in the five or so years I have been on the message board I have reviewed one other book ... this book deserves to be my second review. The book inside the package just grabbed my attention. It arrived just before dinner and only the knowledge that you don't hold a book in one hand and a mayo-ketchup cheeseburger in the other made me wait until after the dishes were done. "Power Carving Manual" is a new release by Fox Chapel that has stuffed into it's 150 pages 16 of the very, very, very best Wood Carving Illustrated Magazine articles focusing on power carving. Everything you could want to know, every question you have plus a great assortment of ideas and themes to carve is here. I like that several topics as tools, carving tips and safety are repeated through the articles. Hearing this important information from two or three different authors makes it quick, easy and very understandable. A few of the basic chapters are: Safety A Guide to Power Carving Tools Choosing the Right Bit Carving assessories The Basics of Power Carving Collapsible Telescoping Rod for your shaft tool There's a great chapter by Jack Kochan that shows you each carving bit in action. Frank Russell takes you step-by-step through how to create, layer and texture and wood burn the details of feathers. Lori Corbett follows right along with a chapter on Texturing Strategies for Bird Carvers. And projects !!!!! There's a classic santa, primitive loon decoy, a really great wood spirit walking stick, a painted killdeer, an American woodcock, a set of three delightful mushrooms, a whole bunch more ... and my favorite ... a whimsical house by Jim Cline! This books is just over stuffed with projects! So how good is this book really ... I was just going to browse through it before Grey's Anatomy came on the TV ... OK So does anyone know if the guy with the tumor on his spine lived I think I missed everything but the first three minutes of the show because I was Power Carving! --Reviewer
