Direct Wood Sculpture: Technique - Innovation - Creativity

Disappointing. A tremendous number of words saying very little of practical help. Very little practical information on how the items illustrated were carved.

It is rare that you will find a book on this topic where the author truly shares their secrets, experiences, and provides step-by-step instruction. Milt Liebson is truly a fine artist who is a teacher at heart, and who is willing to extend his learning by sharing with those people who are serious about learning this fine craft. After reading two of Milt's books, (direct wood sculpture, direct stone sculpture), I was anxious to pass along my thanks to him. Unfortunately, Milt seems to have passed away. But his legacy lives on in his books . . . truly a beautiful parting gift to future generations of wood workers. Tim

Should be in any new, weathered or drift wood artist's or sculptor's working library.

Milt Liebson gives you not only his great art but an incredible fountain of information, tips and techniques for the (wood)sculpture artist or the one to become. Great reading and at an excellent price. My best book on the subject.

Too basic. No help for all but beginners.
