Carving faces is arguably one of the hardest things to do when woodworking, but it is an essential skill. This guide will help carvers master the fundamentals of faces in either realistic or stylized pieces. Carver and author, Alec LaCasse, teaches beginners how to simplify the complex forms of the human countenance, using the rules of proportion to guide readers through every aspect of the face and then teach them how to put it all together with the correct cutting sequence. This comprehensive book features chapters on basic tools with sections on sharpening, handling and safety; remember circles; eyes, nose, and mouth; carving hair and much more. With tips, techniques, and exercises galore, this book gives wood carvers everything they need to build their skills and have fun in the process.
Alex LaCosse was hooked on wood carving since his first whittled boot at age 12. Since then, it has been his passion: outside of wood carving (or teaching wood carving), he hasn't done anything else for a living. But he also knows how hard it is to be a beginner. That's why he's dedicated himself to helping others avoid the novice mistakes he remembers. In Carving Faces in Wood, Alex guides readers through the most important tips to set novices up for long-term success. Share his lifelong research, chisel away at the learning curve, and polish off your first carved wooden face sooner than you could ever imagine!
