This book helps you learn to carve roses, hibiscuses, and morning glories that are strikingly true to life! This beginning-to-advanced-level carving book offers three projects designed to teach the carving skills needed to recreate any flower, using a rotary carving tool for most operations. Each project incorporates new skills and techniques that are structured to guide you through the basics of flower carving. The author, an award-winning woodcarver, offers step-by-step instructions for carving and texturing a lifelike flower, along with full-size patterns and excellent painting guidelines. Beautiful close-up reference photographs of real flowers reveal subtle variations in bloom, petals and leaf groupings. This book includes a detailed examination of all the power tools needed to create realistic carvings, including bits and burs, flexible shaft machines, handpieces and dust collectors.

Person
Wanda Marsh began carving in 1993 in her native Texas. Many of her inspirations have come from watching the bird feeders she has placed outside her windows and the flowers that she has planted in her yard. Not to be limited to her own yard, she may even see something while travelling that sparks an idea.
