An excellent primer to marine carving.,

This review is from: The Shipcarver's Handbook: How to Design and Execute Traditional Marine Carvings (Hardcover)
I am very impressed with the content and the overall knowledge with respect to marine carving by the author. His focus on design and project dimensions would make a huge difference on whether your carving looks good or improperly sized. He also covers techniques in wood bending and mounting scrolls and other objects over curved transoms. I can't wait to build my first nameboard for my boat after reading this gem.

This review is from: The Shipcarver's Handbook: How to Design and Execute Traditional Marine Carvings (Hardcover)
I bought this book as a gift for someone who is just getting into figurehead carving. I have researched a few of these books and I liked this one the best as it was the most informative. It spoke of woods to use, tools you need, and the basics of a dying art. I thought this would be a good comprehensive beginning book to start off with. I recommend it for anyone looking for a good figurehead book.
