Extract from back cover of book:
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 wodcarver, 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 a woods. The difficulties and challenges of relief carving and techniques for handling them are explained. Everything is illustrated with full color photographs.
