The Carver's Art by Simon J. Bronner, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In this book I tell of my conversations with several men who carve chains and other related objects. The linked chain cut from a single block of wood is the most persistent and universal form of woodcarving. I do not pretend to explain every global instance of chain carving; rather, I look at the experiences of a few carvers in one locale to see what patterns emerge. I especially argue that people often use creativity to help them adjust - sometimes to a new situation, a life crisis, or emotional conflicts and tensions. | The Carver's Art by Simon J.
