Carving Gnomes with Tom Wolfe

Learn to carve gnomes with step-by-step instructions from master wood carver Tom Wolfe.

These ancient creatures from folklore have captured the modern imagination, including Tom Wolfe's. In this book, he brings his creativity and skill to the task of creating a whole community of gnomes, bringing them to life from a block of wood. With each step illustrated through full-color photographs, Wolfe takes the carver cut-by-cut to a finished figure.

The book includes a gallery and patterns for five other gnomes, plus accessories such as mushrooms and a cart. The gnomes are exciting projects, allowing the carver to add a little of his or her own creativity to the work. The step-by-step illustrations mean that even the beginning carver can end up with a gnome he or she will be proud of. In this book, Wolfe makes extensive use of the power carving tools that have found such widespread acceptance in the carving community. Wolfe uses them principally for finishing and detail work; carvers will find his techniques helpful.

Wolfe's books on carving have been popular for decades, appealing to everyone from the newest learner to the most seasoned veteran because of the simple methods and obvious enjoyment Wolfe brought to his art.
