When starting this book, the authors set themselves the goal of telling in the most accessible form about carving, both brownie and artistic. Without frightening the reader with abstruse phrases, to convince that this creativity is accessible to everyone, that there is nothing supernatural in the techniques of carving, that the most highly artistic carving consists of simple elements combined into a complex composition. All such elements are performed with specific tools using the appropriate devices. The authors agree that a number of books published earlier on carving pursued the same goals. But practice has shown that not all of them managed to successfully combine the intelligibility, popularity of the text with maintaining the required technical level. And this is very important for the demand for a particular book.The authors really hope that they managed to create a book that will attract new enthusiasts to the ranks of fans of brownie and artistic carving.The abstract is borrowed from alternative sources .
