Om denne bog
Practice your wood carving skills on an unconventional medium: vegetables! This delightful book provides step-by-step instructions for carving potatoes and other vegetables.

For the veteran carver or the newest devotee of the hobby, carving vegetables can be educational, fun, and surprising. We''re not talking pumpkins here, but real carving, using woodcarving tools and techniques. Sweet potatoes are firm enough to take the knife and inexpensive enough to take a mistake or two. That makes them the perfect medium for new carvers or for experienced carvers learning new techniques. Plus, as the vegetables dry and wizen, they take on wrinkles and twists that give the carvings truly surprising and delightful character.

Like woodcarvings, carved vegetables can become a permanent artistic expression. Author and caricature carver Tom Wolfe came upon sweet potatoes as a carving medium when a teacher asked for an alternative to soap for her young carving students. In this book, Tom becomes the teacher, taking the reader step-by-step through the carving of three projects.

A gallery of finished works is included, some in both their freshly carved and wizened states. This is the perfect introduction to the great and fun art of woodcarving.
