The information in this book covers free-form carving as it applies
to jewelry. Most of the information also applies to other forms of
carving although the tools used may be very different. For example,
if you want to carve something the size of Mt. Rushmore, you will
need a lot of dynamite. I think a common misconception of hard rock
carving is that it is difficult to do. If you take nothing else
from this book I hope to at least dispel that idea. Carving does
require patience, however, it is not difficult. Arguably, it is
easier than carving soapstone, as the work is done with power
tools, not elbow grease. I usually tell beginners to expect six to
ten hours per square inch on your early carvings. This will vary
some depending on the complexity of the carving and your
experience, never the less, it does give a rough time scale to
start with. The information in this book is sufficient to allow a
beginner to complete simple carvings and gain enough confidence to
go on to more complex work. Hopefully, the ideas presented here
will give experienced carvers additional approaches, as well as,
answer some nagging questions.
