Essential Woodcarving Techniques
Essential Woodcarving Techniques by Richard Lathbury Onians is a practical introduction to carving in wood with chisels. This digital edition is supplied as a PDF and can be downloaded instantly after purchase.
Drawing on twenty-eight years of teaching traditional and modern woodcarving, Onians guides readers through a sequence of projects. The book follows the progression of the City and Guilds of London Institute’s Creative Studies course.
Book Overview
This is a comprehensive guide for both traditional and creative carving. It covers tools and equipment, selecting wood, chip carving, carved mouldings, foliage, linenfold, high relief, carving in the round, the human figure, abstracts, and incised lettering.
The author stresses preparation, design, and observation, and encourages readers to develop their own carving rather than simply copy patterns.
What You’ll Discover Inside

- How to select and buy suitable wood.
- A first project in chip carving.

Why This Book Matters
Woodcarving is a revival of a tradition that had largely been inactive since the 1940s. This book came from a course prepared for the City and Guilds of London Institute and reflects a teaching method built over twenty-eight years.
It is valuable for serious students, amateur carvers, and anyone interested in the relationship between design, drawing, and sculptural form in wood.
