Product Description
Join an expert craftsman on a full-color journey to see how classical motifs evolved through the Greek, Roman, Romanesque, Renaissance, and Neoclassical periods; and learn how to add exquisite period details to all your woodworking projects, too. Detailed carving instructions help you incorporate relief panels, bands, foliage, tablets, escutcheons, scrolls, cartouches, fans, sunbursts, shells, keystones, and finials into your own work. A final project chapter offers easy-to-follow examples of these elements brought together in the making of chests, benches, cabinets, and mirror frames. Plenty of photographs, practical guidance, and fascinating historical commentary will inspire woodworkers and interest students of art and those curious about the development of ornamental styles.
Reader Reviews
This book supplements his earlier work, Carving Architectural Detail in Wood. Both are exellent resources to learn how to carve classical architectural detail. Illustrations and text walk you through the steps and tools necessary to carve beautiful motifs. Wilbur has traveled and photographed extensively to bring to you examples of fine work; then he demonstrates the techniques necessary to bring them to life on your workbench. These books move you beyond the beginning carver stage to volutes, fans, Doric and Corinthian designs, multiple level flowers, and garden pineapples. If you are tired of beginners books, go to these.
