Wood has traditionally been a common medium for rendering religious icons such as the Christian cross, and this carving book offers 33 patterns for carving images central to different faith traditions. Covered are the basics and theory of relief carving as well as instructions on how to create an original pattern. Workspace, proper lighting, safety, and wood storage are discussed, and suggestions are offered for creating an ideal carving shop. The techniques involved in these projects include carving water, sunlight, and background textures and detailing faces, clothing, and letters.
