There are some interesting patterns, but I still prefer Wayne Barton’s books on chip carving. I will use this book to look at when designing patterns.

I’m not sure why I selected this book but I’m pretty happy with it.
There are tons of patterns in this book. I think the cover mentions 50 different patterns. Many of them are interesting things I never would have thought of.
The instructions are excellent, clear and very easy to follow. I prefer this book to the Wayne Barton pattern books. His designs are probably more elegant but the items in this book are much more achievable and so many new project ideas…not just patterns.

Même en anglais , pour un débutant, le livre et les techniques proposées sont idéales pour conforter dans la pratique de la sculpture par encoches.
