This title offers 25 step-by-step hand-crafted projects. It shows
you how to master decorative wood techniques including carving,
pyrography, marquetry and fretwork, as well as basic automata and
construction. It offers 25 stunning projects that include a tomato
box chest, a carved maple clock with carved numerals, a rodeo toy,
mirror frame and a contemporary shelf. It offers step-by-step
instructions for techniques and ideas with over 300 photographs.
Simple materials and equipment are used to create a diverse range
of wooden objects. It introduces an inspiring variety of
contemporary work by leading craftspeople. Essential information
for selecting and preparing wood is included, with details of the
main hard- and softwoods, the tools and the basic techniques. For
anyone who enjoys creative crafts, working with wood is a perfect
medium for both practical and artistic purposes. This book
introduces a variety of decorative wood techniques, that are used
in 25 appealing projects, which range from a simple keepsake card
in balsa wood requiring the minimum of equipment, a harlequin book
end, and a sturdy five-piece bench constructed in hardwood parana
pine. Other imaginative projects use found or dismantled wooden
objects, such as the Mirror Frame with stair spindles or the Lamp
Base made from orange boxes. Every project is designed to reveal
the characteristic grain, natural shade and texture of the
individual wood. Although to make a number of these projects you
will need a drill and a jigsaw, many do not require elaborate power
tools. Don't be put off by sophisticated techniques, but connect
with this natural resource at the most basic level, enjoying its
classic, natural simplicity.
