variety of techniques. Like any good instructor, Pye includes practice
exercises to make you comfortable with the tools and techniques so you can
build your skills and carve with confidence.
Pye's conversational teaching style will encourage you as you follow the stepby-step
instructions and work on a number of motifs, as well as projects for
low, high, and pierced relief, and in-the-round.
With the help of Chris Pye, you'll learn to carve:
- Four types of molding
- A beautiful koi project in three levels of relief carving
- A realistic baseball cap in-the-round
- A charming wren in-the-round
