"Long Lost Manuscript Resurfaces With Hundreds Of Free Woodcarving Patterns And The Secrets Of How To Carve Wood Like A Pro!"

*FREE For A Limited Time*

If youre interested in wood carving then this could be the most important message you will ever read.

From The Desk Of: Alex Kay
Dear Friend,

Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s ok to let you know… “I’m a true lover of wood carving .” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for the best information on how to carve wood properly. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…

While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.

You see, a few months ago, I was actually doing some research on Freda Skinner, one of the most respected wood carving experts in recent history. I noticed that most of her work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of her most important pieces of work, ‘Wood Carving’. 

Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper. I started to send off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…

By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails I finally got him to mail me his copy.

I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Wood Carving Manuscripts Of All Time....

Even though it was first published some years ago this book has the wood carving information I have ever seen.

In the 12 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:

  • All about trees and how they are transformed from raw timber into quality finished wood---ready for the craftsman.
  • Discover how the timber is taken through it's refining process--like the kiln drying technique. This is all part of the preparation in making timber that is ready to use for the consumer.
  • What wood is in fashion--and what wood is best for your job.
  • All about the varied timbers available--there are so many beautiful timbers to choose from. There are hard woods, soft timber and in-between timbers.
  • How the grain of the wood affects carving--if you carve the wrong way (i.e. against the grain) then your work will be weak.
  • Why the workshop or studio can help considerably when carving--discover how to set up your area in the least possible space.
  • What tools you'll need--to be able to carve with ease and speed. Learn what you'll need and where to get them or make some of them.

And there’s loads more…

At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…

Well here’s the good news.

After doing even more research (I told you I was a wood carving addict) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Freda Skinner’s complete work on this website.

Wood carving is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.

It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE

Now you have no excuse for not being able to carve out a beautiful figure out of wood and attract comments from everyone who sees it.

So without any further adieu, let’s get started...
