Download or read book John Haley Bellamy Carver of Eagles written by Yvonne Brault Smith and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Haley Bellamy (1836-1914) has become one of America's best known woodcarvers. His so-called Bellamy hanging wall eagle is frequently copied by contemporary carvers and his individual pieces are actively collected. His most famous work is pictured above, the Lancaster eagle figurehead, on permanent display at the Mariner's Museum, Newport News, Virginia. Weighing 3,200 pounds with a eighteen-foot wingspan, it is a marvel of artistic and engineering ingenuity.A native of Kittery Point, Maine, Bellamy never considered himself an artist and signed few of his pieces but his carvings are so distinctive that experts can easily identify them. Bellamy's eagles show a simplicity of design, form, and shape, yet he gave his birds a swing, a feeling of action and movement. He also produced other animals, furniture, and decorative cases for ships as well as Masonic frames and clock cases.Despite his great talent, Bellamy led a troubled, restless life, often moving from job to job, sometimes working for as little as $2.50 per day at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where he carved the Lancaster eagle. He also worked in Portsmouth, New Hampshire as well as Charlestown and Boston, Massachusetts.In writing this book, author Smith was able to utilize family papers and correspondence, long thought lost but recovered in the 1970s, to reveal aspects of Bellamy's life that have long puzzled and confused other authors. She also explores his carving methods and techniques. More than 60 illustrations and newly drawn patterns provide an overview of this unusual craftsman.

Download or read book The Book of Wood Carving written by Charles Marshall Sayers and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1978-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.
