Relief carving is a challenging technique that lies somewhere between two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork. Color photographs of the author’s finished carvings of wildlife subjects demonstrate the stunning capabilities of this technique. Step-by-step instructions on how to carve a bison bust, line art and shaded contour illustrations for 30 other animal images, and descriptions of the special techniques needed to render fur, antlers, and animal faces are also included.

Love upon receipt!February 22, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this book. It has a beautiful gallery of pictures and instructions to help the crafter improve their craft. The projects in the book are animals and scenery, but with a little imagination you will be able to learn and transfer the skill to any art form.

Lora Irish puts forth in amazing detail relief carving using hand tools. The book is well worth the purchase price for the artwork alone, her teaching is masterful.
