Firm secure binding; straight spine. -- Dan Semenick, a professional wood carver, has written this most informative book on the subject of Wood Carving to summarize the answers to the many questions that have been asked during his wood carving demonstrations. The relatively new method of honing wood carving chisels using a special rubber wheel is fast becoming the standard for sharpening by many wood carvers. This procedure for chisel sharpening has been used by the author for many years and the concept of this system is described in detail in this book. An entire chapter is devoted to making the most important carver's tool, which is of course the carver's knife. Dan has used barber's straight razors for the past fifteen years to form the blades of his knives. These knives are being used by prominent wood carvers in both Canada and the USA. The chapter dealing with the carving subject in this book is arranged with step by step instructions and shows, with the aid of numerous photographs, each step both at the "in progress" and at the "step completed" stage. The general layout of the book along with the type style and the type size used were carefully considered to enable the reader to read the text while actually working on each particular step. Both the beginning and the experienced wood carver will find that this book contributes to his or her never ending search for new techniques and approaches for wood carving. Signed by Author(s).
