ASIN: 1561583189
Release Date: 1999-10-01

Book Description

Woodcarving remains one of the most popular crafts in the U.S. and continues to grow in popularity. While there are many books on how to carve wood, including Taunton's popular How to Carve Wood (1985), this book provides inspiration for carvers through original patterns. Any carver knows that once the technique is mastered, the greatest challenge is finding clear, well-illustrated designs to carve. This book solves that problem by offering a wide variety of carefully detailed drawings of designs especially suited to carving.

Trained in European carving and drawing techniques, artist/author Lora Irish presents an extensive library of ornamental designs with a traditional look. Included here are classic ornamental motifs from 18th century and other period furniture as well as original designs by the author. The motifs include line designs, triangular designs, square and rectangular designs, circular and oval designs, S- and C-curve designs, mirror-image designs, and free-form designs.

The book can be used in number of ways: The drawings can be adapted to the carver's preference or used directly as patterns, easily enlarged by photocopying and transferred directly to the wood to be carved. The patterns can also be used in other woodcrafts including woodburning and woodpainting.

Misleading cover!.......2007-06-13

Not a bad resource for repeating patterns and a few medallions and foilage, but if you're expecting details for the corbel on the front or for the shell on the back, keep looking. The shading in the drawings usually conveyed the shapes pretty well, but I frequently found myself wanting another or a different section on the pattern. Just be sure to review the Table of Contents in "Search Inside" more closely than I did. I was very surprised and disappointed that none of the design motifs from the front and back cover photos are inside this book. Nada! No drapery, no volute, no shell. Never judge a book...

Offers 63 classic patterns.......2003-11-17

In Architectural Patterns For Woodcarvers, woodworking expert Kurt Koch offers 63 classic patterns especially designed for adding aesthetic detail to furniture and architectural woodwork. A very brief introduction to architectural carving techniques supplements the bulk of this 67-page resource, which is devoted to patterns presented in a precise style, and which can easily be transferred to the wood itself. Both top and side profiles for each pattern offers good detail and depth in this excellent and highly recommended instructional resource for amateur and professional woodworkers alike.

Book Description

An instruction manual for sculptors, artists, and woodcarvers who want to learn from master carvers in the style of the classic European bust, this guide includes detailed instructions on creating models, step-by-step instructions, easy-to-follow patterns that demonstrate exact cuts, and an explanation of theories of proportion. Detailed sketches help carvers of all skill levels synthesize the European methods of carving heads, while also providing inspiring ideas for individual interpretations. A gallery of 11 different versions of the same bust, for viewing a variety of contemporary carving styles and surface treatments, is also included.

Not for beginners!.......2006-07-14

If you're looking for a step-by-step procedure with a lot of detail photos--this isn't it. Rather, this is a very basic intro to the Geisler-Moroder method of establishing the basic planes of the human face and head. If you have carved heads before, this is a good excercise in proportion and learning how to establish the reference lines for turning the head away from the "straight-on" look in most carving books. If you're shopping for a carving vacation spot in europe, this will definitely motivate a trip to the Geisler-Moroder school, which was probably the reason for this book. For example, in the photo section on types of finishing we find that the painted bust was painted: "with an 'antique painting' technique...and mastering it takes lots of patience, time and special skills". That was helpful, wasn't it?

The Ultimate Textbook for Carousel Carvers........2003-02-28

This book guided me through one of the greatest challenges in my woodcarving experience. After a couple of readings to become familiar with the process and sequence of operations, I began a project which has brought me more pride, and sense of accomplishment than anything I've ever undertaken. From the design stage through materials and tool selection, technique of workmanship, to the final painting and displaying of the project, instructions are clear and include many tips and tricks of the trade. Professional results are assured. For the first time carver, no clearer and concise guide is now available in my opinion. My interest in Carousel Carving encouraged me to gather many books on the subject. After reading them all, I return to this book for its store of relevant information and instructions on carving an Animal. My daughter is the proud owner of an authentic hand-carved Carousel Horse thanks to Bud Ellis and Rhonda Hoeckley's efforts in creating this fine instruction manual. An excellent companion to this book is the "Atlas of Animal Anatomy" by W. Ellenberger et al.

This book is amazing!!.......2002-01-09

If you cannot get to the Horsin' Around Carousel Carving School yourself, this is the next best thing! Bud is a retired art teacher with a gift for helping you understand what needs to be done! The book has every element and every step needed to complete a carousel animal from start to finish. Lots of pictures. A must for the aspiring carver and excellent for the experienced carver as well. There are traditional patterns included, and information to customize your own animal. Whether you want to carve a horse, goat, zebra, rabbit, or something of your own design, this book is a great resource!

Carousel Animal Carving: Patterns & Techniques.......2000-03-31

I think this is a great book. Bud Ellis provides precise information from how to have the wood prepared for carving, to tools needed to complete the carousel animal. The carousel in Chattanooga Tennessee is a wonderful example of some of Mr. Ellis's work. His book can't be beat.

an excellent source of carousel horse carving information.......1998-09-22

I bought my copy of this book after having spent a month at the carving school. (It wasn't out before I went). It is an excellent source of carving information for the beginner as well as the experienced carver. My horse is not yet finished, so I refer to the book often for ideas and help. Many of the things Bud had told us at the school I had forgotten, but were in the book. Everything he teaches at hte school is in the book except the one-on-one help. It is written in easy to understand language and carving terms are explained for the beginner. The pictures in the book are of those who work at the school and of students doing their own horses-not models. I recommend it for anyone wishing to carve their own carousel horse. It is an excellent gift idea also.

After you've read and mastered any other chip carving technique, this one comes along as a surprise. Barton reviews other styples and applications of chip carving so that when he explains positive image motif, you get the full impact of what it does. Positive Image motif is a radical change from traditional chip carving but one that is certainly very pleasing. The carver would have to develop his drawing skills to do it, but the results are well worth it! For anyone who works with wood, this is a book that adds an entirely new dimension to any woodworking project.

All the expert advice you need to start your own lucrative child-care service

With more and more single-parent households and families in which both parents work, child-care businesses are in great demand. The ability to work from home makes it a popular choice for you. The second edition of this popular Startup (more than 5,600 sold) features updated resources and information for you.

Gives very general info ... not worth the money!.......2006-10-17

This book gave the most basic and general information about opening a child care service. It claims to cover both centers and family day care, but really only discusses centers in any depth. This is NOT the book for anyone looking to open a family day care. It covers information that people should already know anyway (except that it does write about how many mops and trash cans centers should have). Please don't waste your money on this one. Steelsmith's book is MUCH better - you will get a lot more out of that one!
