Carving 18th Century American Furniture Elements

Offert en anglais seulement

This book guides the reader through the process of carving authentic motifs found on the most treasured pieces of 18th-century American furniture. Each of the ten projects is presented in a step-by-step progression, from shaping the surface through layout, to rough and detailed carving. 

Written for the serious student of American period furniture, as well as those trying to improve their carving skills through practice and self-study, the projects are presented as elements and pieces of furniture rather than stand-alone items that are for practice only. The projects were chosen because of their importance and popularity in relation to museum-quality 18th-century American furniture.
