The projects include pineapple finials, decorative moldings, and signs with carved lettering; challenging advanced work is to be found in plans for an eagle-decorated lectern and a seated Buddha. Color photos illustrate the step-by-step directions for all projects, and sidebars offer tips for success. Chris Pye is a professional woodcarver and a member of the Master Carvers Association. He is the author of Elements of Woodcarving and Woodcarving: Tools, Materials & Equipment.
