Between DIY, decoration and creative leisure, wood engraving attracts an ever-increasing number of enthusiasts. This book aims to give the keys to the knowledge and techniques of decorative wood engraving, which is commonly called "at the tip of the knife". Particular attention has been paid to the study of wood species, but also to the necessary equipment, to the design of ornaments and decorative motifs, as well as to the treatment of surfaces. A wide range of examples and exercises allows you to gradually acquire the most difficult execution techniques, from basic patterns to expert work. The author, himself a renowned wood engraver, describes the different techniques encountered throughout the Alps. Much more than a creative leisure guide, this book offers a real discovery of a popular art rooted in Alpine culture.
