Overview

Ready to transform wood into masterpiece sculptures? Perfect for beginners and experienced wood crafters, this guide takes a unique dive into the skills need to transform ordinary wood into extraordinary art and decor. Inside author Meleah Gabhart’s new book, you’ll find detailed skill-building projects, outlined step-by-step with thorough instructions so you never feel like you’re doing any guesswork. And each project will help you open up your imagination! Learn how to turn wood into a flower mandala, how to craft intricate details like leaves, or even go all out and turn the wood into a sculpted small tree design. Maximize your scroll saw and bandsaw to find out what kind of creative projects they’re capable of. Gabhart has a passion for using wood that was mostly rejected by woodworkers, so you’d be surprised at how affordable the hobby can be. Gabhart’s art reminds people that you don’t need beautiful wood to create something beautiful—with some serious wood-sculpting know-how, you can transform an ordinary object into art.
