New Releif Patterns

Ron Davidson · #1 01-29-2006, 11:10 AM

Mottles I bought the same book on releif carving from Irish. I have a couple of the patterns layed out to try. I am like you and find the book very well written and easy to follow with some excellent patterns. Here are the ones I am going to try first hope you can see them ok.

Hi Ron, oh boy great you are going to do these patterns I love them. I think I'd like to try my hand at the mallard next.
Hope you'll give us progress updates as you work.

I've got Lora's book on carving landscapes, and it was very easy to use as well as a great help.

I love the pattern, it should make a very nice carving.......what book are you folks talking about? I've been looking for a good relief pattern book.

Hi Gilley, the book we are refering to is 'Wildlife Carving in Relief' by Lora S. Irish and published by Fox Chapel at http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/s...lCat=43&step=2 or Susan's website www.carvingpatterns.com
It's such an educational book and one that can be used by beginner and professional alike. Money well spent!
PS: Lora (Susan) has other books also on carving and woodburning.

Gilly I agree with Kathy that it is money well spent. The book has several simular patterns that I think you would like and it is a well wrttin book very informative. Another one you might like is the Relief Carving Treasury by William F. Judt also available at Fox Chapel.

Thanks Ron, I'm heading to the city on Thursday to check out Chapters, hopefully they'll have it or others like it.
