Woodcarving remains one of the most popular crafts in the U.S. and
continues to grow in popularity. While there are many books on how
to carve wood, including Taunton's popular How to Carve Wood
(1985), this book provides inspiration for carvers through original
patterns. Any carver knows that once the technique is mastered, the
greatest challenge is finding clear, well-illustrated designs to
carve. This book solves that problem by offering a wide variety of
carefully detailed drawings of designs especially suited to
carving.
Trained in European carving and drawing techniques,
artist/author Lora Irish presents an extensive library of
ornamental designs with a traditional look. Included here are
classic ornamental motifs from 18th century and other period
furniture as well as original designs by the author. The motifs
include line designs, triangular designs, square and rectangular
designs, circular and oval designs, S- and C-curve designs,
mirror-image designs, and free-form designs.
The book can be used in number of ways: The drawings can be
adapted to the carver's preference or used directly as patterns,
easily enlarged by photocopying and transferred directly to the
wood to be carved. The patterns can also be used in other
woodcrafts including woodburning and woodpainting.
