Carving a Decorative Flower
with Nora Hall
Techniques for creating attractive grace-notes
A simple decorative carving can be a great confidence booster to the beginning woodcarver, because pleasing and usable results come very quickly.
Nora Hall is an experienced teacher of carving and a well-known craftswoman who earns her living as a carver. She gives you a sense of what the basic carving gouges are capable of and shows how to bring three-dimensional life to a simple form sketched onto a board.
Hall's hallmark technique is all about keeping complete control over carving tools -- never letting a cut get away from you, with potentially ruinous results. She gives the two hands different jobs: one powers the cut, the other guides and contains that power by anchoring the wrist to the working surface.
