In Carving Found Wood, Updated & Expanded Edition, woodcarving enthusiasts will find step-by-step instructions for identifying found wood and turning it into artwork. Author Vic Hood, who has been carving human busts since 1991, and photographer Jack Williams have identified every key step in learning how to carve wood. With high-definition visuals guiding your path, you'll watch the full journey as rustic logs transform into lifelike faces with fine details like beards, hair, and even smile wrinkles. This expanded edition provides wood specific projects and the techniques to complete them flawlessly. From carving an eagle made from a found log to building a complex cypress fairy house, this book offers a complete compendium for wood carving using cheap, freely available found wood.
Vic Hood is the president of a unique building corporation, Leatherwood, Inc., which specializes in historic restoration. As a restorationist, Vic has been responsible for the restoration of several presidential houses, national landmarks, national monuments and house museums. He started carving in 1991, concentrating on carving full-size human busts for which he has won 83 awards, including several Best of Show awards. His most treasured honor was to be selected to create a Christmas ornament for the White House in 2001. Vic is one of the founders of the Leipers Fork Carving Club in Leipers Fork, Tennessee. Vic studied carving under John Burke and Larry Rogers for several years before becoming a carving instructor himself. He currently teaches classes on carving the human bust at several major workshops around the country and at individual club workshops. Due to Vics experience in competitive pumpkin carving, he was invited to be the featured pumpkin carver at the 2003 Gentry Farms Pumpkin Festival.
