Georg Keilhofer | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Scenic relief carving is the art of bringing life and depth to a carving that is essentially two dimensional. In the traditional carving of Germany this is an exquisite and beautiful technique, and now Georg Keilhofer, a master woodcarver, shares it with his readers and students.



Step-by-step he takes the reader through the carving of a plaque depicting a deer running through the forest. The difficulties and challenges of relief carving and techniques for handling them are explained. Everything is illustrated with full color photographs.
Georg's first book, Basic Relief Carving, was met with critical and popular success, and this second book takes the reader further into the art of traditional wood-carving.
