Most clear and simplest explanation on how to do stone carving and when to use the tools at each stage of carving and what stones to start out with so that the beginner does not get discouraged and give up. Does not give step by step instruction but rather let the student use his/her own imagination and creativity while carving the stone. This book should be in every stone carver's personal library of reference material.

Fairly comprehensive reference for the stone sculptor. Covers technique, hand and power tools, selection of stone, practical suggestions for the 'business' of sculpture, and gives a historical overview of the medium. Well illustrated with examples of twentieth century sculpture, and with step-by-step details of selected processes.
