Das grosse Buch vom Schnitzen

There are hardly any who are not captivated by the tranquility, concentration, and relaxed atmosphere that comes with carving. What was once a pastime for men or boys has now become a hobby for everyone—whether girls or boys, old or young. Carving has many advantages: it requires very little equipment, many decorative and useful items are easy to create, and the materials can be found directly in nature. Frank Egholm provides all the essential basics and informs about tools, materials, work techniques, and safety aspects. The numerous suggestions for carved objects are extremely original and diverse. This book is an excellent introduction for anyone picking up a carving knife for the first time, but it is also a true treasure trove for advanced carvers. In addition to the general fundamentals, the book contains a wealth of information.
