    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
    A complete guide to carving realistic portraits in wood from a champion carver. Learn the techniques for carving hair, skin, muscle, facial features, and more. Following a step-by-step carving project with more than 350 color photos and 50 drawings that provide useful anatomical references, you'll be guided to completely sculpt the piercing features of a Native American warrior wearing a wolf headdress.
    Compiled from the best tips and tricks from the pages of Woodcarving Illustrated, this guidebook provides woodworkers with all they need to know to create a safe and organized workshop and prepare and employ various tools.
    Essays and instruction from such trusted contributors as Roger Schroeder, Lora Irish, and Jack Kochan share everything about mallets, v-tools, and getting the maximum life out of carving tools.
    Also included are step-by-step instructions explaining the principles of sanding, finishing, gluing, clamping, and much more. The woodcarver's budget is also addressed, in such chapters as "Poor Man's Dust Collector."
    OUR STORY
    In 1906 our grandfather Donato Ramella immigrated to the United States from Italy in search of the American dream.  In 1937, along with two partners, Donato founded the U.J. Ramelson Company.  UJ. Ramelson quickly established themselves as the leader in quality American handmade carving tools.  The family tradition of excellence continues with third generation owners John and Dan Ramella.  Blending age old traditions, with advanced technologies, our tools are hand forged, heat treated, and tempered by our expert craftsmen.  Today, Ramelson is not only a manufacturer, but also a distributor of many fine tools and supplies.
