Description

More than just a 'how-to' book, the author's passion for wood carving as a sustainable craft and his connection to wood and nature shines through on every page. Green Wood Carving includes fascinating information about wood, how it grows, how to use it and what makes it unique. The main carving tools, their uses, and how to look after them are also explained. From coat hooks and candlesticks to spoons and mugs, detailed step-by-steps explain each of the nine projects in words, photographs and drawings. AUTHOR: Harald lives in the Flemish city of Bruges. He once studied psychology and management, but he eventually turned his passion for wood into his profession. Harald rolled through bushcraft into spoon carving and discovered green woodworking. He took lessons from other master (spoon) carvers, started the Lepelhuis (spoonhouse) and the Lepelbos (spoonwoodlands) and also runs the Brugse Lepelclub (spoonclub). Harald is now a master himself and he guides students in a master-apprenticeship program. Harald likes to share his knowledge about and passion for wood.
