This is an absolutely first-rate book for beginners in wood sculpture, well thought out and well executed. It is exceptional in the quality of its illustrations, and contains many original and unusual conceptions and designs.--E. J. Tangerman.In answer to complaints from students that there was no concise, simple text on wood carving, Charles Marshall Sayers, a nationally famous teacher and craftsman, wrote this book. It is still the finest book for the beginning student in wood sculpture. In clear, straightforward language, Sayers carefully guides the reader through the fundamentals--what tools and materials to use, how to use them. There are lessons and designs for incised carving, relief carving, and other cutting methods. Sayers discusses woods suitable for carving, stains and finishes, preliminary and advanced methods of preparing woods for finishing, even how to make a workbench.The 34 illustrated designs for over 34 projects encourage the student to build slowly and methodically a sound, practical technique while creating objects of beauty and utility. All of the projects employ only four tools (one straight parting tool, three different sizes of straight gouges). With this book you can make panels for cabinets, chests, and doors; borders; table aprons; chair and bench rails; circular mirror frame; wall bracket with shelf; bookends; rectangular mirror frame; footstools; guest-book covers; mirror frame with half-circle top; holy water font; and doors.Though The Book of Wood Carving is meant for the beginner, experienced carvers will find that Sayers' original conceptions and designs will increase their own pleasure and skill. Stimulating both by spicy text and large photographs showing every point in processes described . . . [Illustrated with] designs of actual work by the author--a famous teacher and craftsman--and his students and apprentices.--Books, New York Herald Tribune.Unabridged (1978) republication of original (1942) edition.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters..." The Book of Psalms is one of the Bible's most cherished and widely read books. With 150 poems, songs, and prayers, it expresses the full range of human emotions, from joy and praise to sorrow and lament. Once attributed solely to the biblical King David, it is now believed to reflect Israel's entire history from the period of the Exodus (13th century BCE) to the postexilic restoration (after 600 BCE). The message of the Psalms remains relevant, offering followers of Judaism and Christianity comfort, spiritual guidance, and hope amid their own challenges and struggles. This edition of the Psalms, reprinted complete and unabridged from the Old Testament of the King James Bible, is designed to be a daily devotional with contemplation questions included. Featuring beautiful images and stirring verses, each entry offers a rich source of wisdom and uplifting insight that can motivate the growth of one's faith and lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.
