Lora S Irish, WILDLIFE CARVING IN RELIEF
Ref: 18300
Within the pages of this convenient source, woodworkers will learn the art of relief carving, which gives the illusion of depth, through projects on wild creatures. An in-depth introduction teaches novice carvers basic techniques, such as choosing wood and transferring a pattern while intermediate and experienced carvers will appreciate a section devoted to advanced techniques, such as undercutting for depth and creating free-floating areas within a carving. Step-by-step line drawings are included for each project, with shaded patterns illustrating depth and shadow. Genre-specific techniques for wildlife creatures are given exclusive study in this resource and include difficult detailing elements such as creating facial features, and texturing fur, hai, and feathers. More than 60 patterns, including 15 new projects for creating fighting buck, mule deer, elk and fish, will provide skilled hands with many new challenges. Additionally, woodcarvers will learn how to add finishing details to their projects with woodburning, Danish oil, and paint.

Along with the wonderful lures that can be made by hand, there is a full-colour gallery of historic and contemporary wooden lures, accompanied by an introduction from top collector Butch Bartz.

Chris Pye, CARVING ON TURNING
Ref: 10547
This book originally arose for a series of articles written by Chris in Woodturning magazine and as such was aimed more at turners.
However, 2 points: First, there is no such thing as "carving for turners". There is just the carving, and you can apply it to a curved surface as readily as a flat one. Second, this book contains a good overview of many basic carving techniques and can be studied for these alone, independent of turning.
Discover how simple decorative marks, through to advanced carving and shaping techniques, can enhance your turned objects and add an element of artistry.

Chris Pye, LETTERCARVING IN WOOD. A Practical Course

Besides the fascination of lettering in its own right, there are the bonuses that such tool skills transfer to your other carving and are readily marketable.
