Misleading cover!
12 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
Not a bad resource for repeating patterns and a few medallions and foilage, but if you're expecting details for the corbel on the front or for the shell on the back, keep looking. The shading in the drawings usually conveyed the shapes pretty well, but I frequently found myself wanting another or a different section on the pattern. Just be sure to review the Table of Contents in "Search Inside" more closely than I did. I was very surprised and disappointed that none of the design motifs from the front and back cover photos are inside this book. Nada! No drapery, no volute, no shell. Never judge a book...

Offers 63 classic patterns
17 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
In Architectural Patterns For Woodcarvers, woodworking expert Kurt Koch offers 63 classic patterns especially designed for adding aesthetic detail to furniture and architectural woodwork. A very brief introduction to architectural carving techniques supplements the bulk of this 67-page resource, which is devoted to patterns presented in a precise style, and which can easily be transferred to the wood itself. Both top and side profiles for each pattern offers good detail and depth in this excellent and highly recommended instructional resource for amateur and professional woodworkers alike.
