3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading cover!, June 12, 2007
This review is from: Architectural Patterns for Woodcarvers: A Design Sourcebook (Paperback)
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Offers 63 classic patterns, November 16, 2003
This review is from: Architectural Patterns for Woodcarvers: A Design Sourcebook (Paperback)
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.
