Publisher Description:

Mick Stidever continues with his journey of Woodcarving within this Volume 3. In this diary he presents a further sixteen carvings from a Grinling Gibbons Swag to a relief of African Elephants with many others in between. He continues to recount his emotions; his highs and lows as he endeavours to achieve the best possible result with each and every carving. At times he succeeds; at other times he falls short but continually he strives to learn more about the craft. Whether he is seen to be improving his skills remains with the reader but for him the journey was thoroughly enjoyable, once again opening many doors to other related experiences along the way. This particular volume of A Diary of a Woodcarver provides the reader with a greater detail of each project than previously so that others may, if they so wish, tackle similar carvings. This diary again should provide encouragement, interest and a good read for anyone with a love for the craft of woodcarving.

The book is a good and fascinating read and will inspire any carver to widen their horizons and appreciation of woodcarving.
