Firmly convinced that "anyone who can peel a potato can carve," E.J. Tangerman has become the best-known instructor in whittling and wood carving, the inspiration for thousands of readers who have taken up this rewarding hobby. In this book he provides a seemingly endless array of design ideas that can be used just as they are or adapted to the special needs of the wood carver. This book is graded from very simple exercises through classical and modern design to museum pieces and is arranged according to the tools used in creating the various effects. - Back cover.
