Ian Norbury provides one-to-one virtual training for aspiring woodcarvers, as he carves and explains his techniques. He guides the viewer step-by-step through the carving process, and demonstrates how to go from an ordinary round log to a beautiful, completely symmetrical figure. The disk includes plan drawings, still photographs and 45 minutes of detailed video instruction.

Could be better.
The DVD shows the process of making the figure on the cover. It is narrated by the artist. The problem I have is with the editing. Techniques are omitted. You will be watching some carving and suddenly you see the piece sanded. Then the DVD ends suddenly. All-in-all, it is a little better than "Carving a Figure: The Female Form," but could be much better. One thing that stays in my mind is that lime wood appears very easy to carve.

The Master Speaks
I've heard a lot of people complain that Ian doesn't show carving techniques. That's correct. But that's not what this disk is for. This is to show methods for achieving particular shapes and dimensions in space. And it's brilliant at that. I've gotten a lot out of this disc, and intend to buy more of them. It's awesome to be able to learn these things from a master.!!

No video on actual carving the figure. I like to see examples on best way to carve and not just jump from a section to another without actual working on the carving.
