Relief Carving Workshop takes you through every element of the relief carving process, from start to finish.

Acclaimed carver and instructor Lora S. Irish shows you the easy way to learn, with step-by-step exercises on a practice board that introduce all of the essential cuts, contouring, and smoothing steps used in basic relief woodcarving. She reveals how easy it is to make each individual stroke, and shows how great relief carving simply involves using these same cuts over and over again.

You'll learn how to handle your tools, prepare a wood surface, follow a pattern, and apply a finish.
