This review is from: Practical Wax Modeling : Advanced Techniques for Wax Modelers (Hardcover)

This book is one of the best illustrated works devoted to making wax models for jewelry that I have purchased. I have been making jewelry models for over 30 years and still discovered textural techniques and materials in Practical Wax Modeling that I was not familiar with previously. Due to the fact that the authors are Japanese, the book reflects their design and technique approach. This work covers a wide range of tools, and details both the carving and build up of wax models. I would recommend this book as a valuable addition to any jewelry maker's library.
