This workshop has been designed to teach you how to carve incised letters
using
just one tool, the Magic Knife (which is included with the workshop). This
technique
has been taught to over a thousand students and is accompanied by a text book
(also

The workshop is for four days and in that time, you will be exposed to the
following:
- The basic two types of cuts, Stop Cut and Back Cut
- The four Basic Cuts
- Use of the Magic Knife
- Sharpening
- Types of woods and other materials used in sign carving
- Carving the Basic Cuts

- Shown how to glue and prep a sign board
- Shown how to finish a sign
- Shown how to gold leaf a sign
- Questions answered throughout the course
It is my intent that you will leave this workshop with enough knowledge, so
with continued practice,
you will be able to produce professionally carved signs. Not to mention,
that with the techniques you
learn here, you can apply them to any type of woodcarving you desire!!
