Description

Mick Stidever continues his journey recounting his adventures with the craft of Woodcarving. Within this second volume he presents a further fourteen carvings from a Sea Eagle to a Self Portrait with many 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 greater detail of each project than previously so that others may, if they so wish, tackle similar carvings. This diary should provide again 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.
