Over 2 hours of expert instruction in carving an attractive and adaptable leaf decoration. The 2 disk DVD also highlights holding and using woodcarving tools correctly and efficiently. Fundamentals woodcarving cuts: running stabbing, sliding and sweeping!

Chris Pye has been a professional woodcarver for than 25 years and is a member of the Master Carvers Association. His work is done mainly to commission, with clients including HRH the Prince of Wales. It ranges from architectural moldings to figure carving, furniture to lettering, bedheads and fireplaces. He has also written extensively about woodcarving for several magazines.

I found the DVD to be a high quality presentation of ornamental carving. The step-by-step instructions demonstrated by Mr. Pye and repeated by Mr. Cosman (student)under Mr. Pye's guidance were very helpful. The beauty of the video is that you can review how to hold the carving tools properly, and apply the steps and techniques presented.
