Country Flat Carving With Tom Wolfe [Paperback]

Tom Wolfe (Author), Douglas Congdon-Martin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1990

Tom Wolfe has been carving signs and other flatcarvings for many years, bringing to them the same creativity and skill he brings to his three-dimensional work. Sometimes practical, sometimes whimsical, and sometimes a little bit of both, this country flatcarving is loved by everyone. Country Flatcarving shares some of Tom's patterns and techniques. The three projects include a potholder holder (practical), the man in the moon (whimsical) and a welcome sign (a little of both). You will find step-by-step instructions, all illustrated in full-color, and will be able to design and carve your own patterns when you are finished.

This review is from: Country Flat Carving With Tom Wolfe (Paperback)

I don't like the designs in this book, with the possible exception of the rabbits. And there are jolly few of them -- designs, that is.

Plus it's a picture book. By that I mean lots of photographs of the man carving. But it doesn't work like a video, and for me it doesn't work at all. Maybe for some it does, because it's not the only book with that format I've run into. But it was a waste of time for me.
