This in-depth profile of Scandinavian-style woodcarving includes a history of the style's use in American and Scandinavian art, biographies of great carvers in the genre, and detailed instructions for a variety of projects. Directions, front and sideview patterns, and step-by-step photographs reveal how to make a few simple cuts and leave large flat planes intact. The lively personalities of such typical Scandinavian figures as Oskar and a traditional Swedish folk art horse are charmingly rendered in the samples and projects included.Refsal, Harley is the author of 'Art & Technique of Scandinavian Style Woodcarving Step-by-Step Instructions & Patterns for 40 Flat-Plane Carving Projects', published 2004 under ISBN 9781565232303 and ISBN 1565232305.
