Description
It is over a century since the last major book on Maori carving tools. Clive Fugill, Master Carver at the NZ Maori Arts & Crafts Institute, tells the mythical, traditional and modern stories of the making and use of carving tools, including the adze (toki) and the chisel (whao) with detailed drawings and photographs.
