Carving Classic Female Figures in Wood: A How-To Reference for Carvers and Sculptors

Ian Norbury
For carvers and sculptors, Norbury demonstrates how to portray aspects of the nude female figure in wood, both creatively and realistically. Focusing on the female upper body, two step-by-step projects, illustrated and with clear instructions, guide woodworkers through an entire carving project.

Details are included for using a band saw to outline projects, roughing out basic shapes, creating a clay model, and proper mounting techniques. Color photos of models in a variety of poses, and muscle and skeletal drawings, are included. For woodcarvers of all skill levels.
