At last: woodcarving secrets of the pros revealed!
You will master woodcarving with these "insider" secrets from the absolute top carving instructors... for just pennies a day ... even if you've never touched carving tools!
This isn't just a short course telling you the basics of carving - this is a warehouse full of knowledge, a patient mentor, a set of tutors who will share with you every secret, technique, concept, and experience they have about wood carving. If you want to learn what separates a master craftsman from someone who barely knows how to hold a roughing knife, you need this hand holding, step-by-step, short cut!
Dear Friend,
If you're like most of us, the best way to learn something - to have it really "click", is to see it demonstrated, close up, by someone who really knows what they're doing.
Think about learning to ride a bicycle - if you'd never seen a bike before, and someone handed you a 300 page manual on how to ride one, would you have been able to hop on and pedal away?
Not me!
Like most people, I needed to see someone else do it, have them explain the important details, and when I was ready, hop on and practice.
Try this simple experiment: try to write down some notes to explain how to ride a bike ... or swim across a pool ... or jump off a diving board.
It's frustrating to try to write it down, it's more frustrating to read it, and it's incredibly frustrating to try to put it into practice. "Push down with your left foot while shifting your weight onto the toes of your right foot, while also keeping both hands on the handlebars..." Horrible! If you tried to learn to ride a bike this way, you'd end up with scraped knees and a sore head. If you tried to learn to jump off a diving board this way, you'd belly flop. ...and if you tried to learn how to swim this way? Let's not even think about it!
If you can't learn how to do a simple thing like ride a bike, or dive off a board from reading a book, why does anyone think it's possible to learn to become a master carver from books?
On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best, I rate these instructional carving videos as definite 10's! The level of professional presentation; the clarity of explanation; and the obvious depth of experience make these videos a true value for both beginners and seasoned carvers. They are obviously an accumulation of a lifetime of tried and perfected experiences. You can't go wrong on these titles.
-- Jack Piehn
You can hardly be blamed for being frustrated - riding a bike is simple, and it can't be taught from a book...so it's no surprise that when you pick up a pricey piece of wood pour hours of your time into it, you still aren't satisfied with the result.
Let me ask you a question...
Do You Dream Of Carving Amazing Figures, Hiking Sticks, Decoys, Plaques And Boxes... Without Having To Worry About Spending Your Life Savings And Without Feeling Overwhelmed By All The Confusing Tools and Secret Techniques?
Maybe you've owned carving tools for years...or maybe you've just bought your first set of carving tools ... or perhaps you haven't even got a carving knife yet...but you have a dream of making amazing walking sticks, figures, boxes, and gifts. You understand the basic concepts (or so you think!) ... and yet you're not getting the results you know you deserve.
Should you give up on the dream?
Should you keep cranking out "good enough" projects?
Do you want to make lopsided figures, crooked hiking sticks, and poorly lettered signs and plaques for birthday presents and Christmas presents?
Do you enjoy it when your knife catches the grain the wrong way and tears the wood, or a tool slips and puts a cut where it's not wanted? Do you lie to yourself and say that it "just adds character" ?
...or do you want to be a true craftsman?
If you click right here, you can stop wishing and get your hands on the how-to DVDs that will make you a carving pro.Let's be clear: 9 out of 10 folks aren't really interested in becoming better carvers. They're happy to muddle through, and give slightly embarrassing gifts to friends. They don't notice that the phrase "Oh, this is quite good" really means "...for someone who just dabbles at woodcarving, and doesn't really want to turn out high grade work".
It's a sad fact, but it's true: most carvers aren't interested in getting better.
They're happy to go down to the workshop, create a pile of woodchips and make a "good enough" gift.
If you're one of those folks, this course isn't for you. Click the "back" arrow in your browser right now - you don't want to learn the simple tricks, secrets, and techniques that will let you turn out carvings that are ten times better in half the time. Click the "back" arrow, then go back to your shop and enjoy creating wood chips, and be happy with the "ehhh - it's OK" results you get.
You can READ about it all you want but there is nothing like SEEING it done!!!
-- James 'JIMO' Miller
You Have The Pride Of Craftsmanship, And Your Skills Are The Envy Of Others When You Are An Excellent Woodcarver
I'm not one of those "ehhh - it's OK" folks, and I'm glad that you're not either.
Why do you want to get better?
If you're like me, it's because you enjoy the pride of craftsmanship.
You're not like everyone else - you like learning to do a good job, and then applying yourself...and turning out work that you can be really proud of.
When you carve a really nice nutcracker, or a plaque far nicer than anything you can buy in a store, or a custom made house sign, you know you've done top notch work...and when you show that work to friends or family, you can see it in their eyes. There's something different in the way they look at you - you're not just noodling around in the workshop, you're producing (dare we say it?) art!. Or, if "art" is too fancy a word, just call it "true craftsmanship".
click here to find out how easy it is to become a true woodcarving masterOf course, there's a downside - when you show your work to other carvers, the look in their eyes is a bit different. There's a a bit of envy. ...and a touch of respect. You're using the same patterns they are, and the same tools. You may even be using the same wood! ...and yet you're turning out work that stands head-and-shoulders above.
OK, this sounds great - who doesn't want to be a master woodcarver?
...but how do you get from here to there?
Is it possible to pick up master level skills?
Finally --- A Simple Video Based Training System That Teaches You Step-By-Step How To Properly And Professionally Make Your Own "Show Winning" Carvings... And Save Hours Of Painful Frustration And Needless Spending Of Your Hard Earned Cash!
That's right! The excuses and delays are gone! You're about to discover the first REAL breakthrough in woodcarving instruction that's ever been offered!
There are books, sure. ...and one article thrown in every third issue of your favorite woodworking magazine.
But here's a secret...
Using Poor Techniques From Articles, Frustrating Experimentation, And Inferior Book-Learning Can Ruin A Piece Of Rare Wood, And Can Send The Cost Of Your Project Through The Roof!
If you're like most people who try to learn woodcarving from books and magazine articles, it all seems really simple in theory, but your results just aren't what you want them to be. Your projects look clunky.
...Or they're not finished well. Or your tools seem hard to control. Or sharpening is a chore. Or your chisels tear the wood or bite too deep, ruining your workpiece.
Or you're experiencing any of a thousand other problems.
I agree with all the great reviews. Initially I got this for my husband, but I think I'll be trying my hand at wood carving soon! I was always afraid of the knife and cutting myself. But all the safety issues are covered very well too. Excellent instruction and very interesting and informative at the same time!-- Aimee Jeffries
It's Not Your Fault!
Once upon a time, folks realized that woodcarving was best taught by a master to an apprentice. A close look at high quality work being done well, a kind word, a light touch of the hand - expert instruction made it possible for anyone to learn how to turn out great work.
...and, somehow, in the 20th century, we forgot all that, and decided that people could learn a complicated, three-dimensional, somewhat tricky skill, with lots of secret "insider only" tips and techniques...
From a flat, black-and-white, static Book!
It just isn't so!
You've been getting frustrated, thinking that if you were just a bit smarter, or if you could just figure out how to hold your tool differently, or if you concentrated harder, then you could do great work
It's Not Your Fault!
People needed mentors to learn woodcarving 200 years ago, and they still need them now.

This was a most exceptional lesson on woodcarving. I learned more in the first one hour of this progam than I had in the first two classes at our local community college. In fact, after viewing the DVD I called the instructor and advised him that I would no longer be attending class... attending any further classes at the community college was a waste of my time...
I would give this program a definite 5 star rating and recommend it to anyone who wants to attempt woodcarving as a beginner.

So, What's The Cost To Learn From The Experts And Catapult Your Woodcarving Skills To A Master Craftsmen Level?
How much would you pay for 5, 10 or 15 hours of instruction from world class carvers?
$10/hour an hour would be an unthinkable bargain.
Something like $50 or $100 wouldn't be an unfair price to charge for an hour of hands-on instruction like this.
Let's face it, if you asked the top carvers to fly in from Australia, England, and all over the US, and then stick around your shop until you'd mastered their techniques, you'd need to be as rich as Bill Gates!
For just pennies a day, though, you get exactly this learning experience from Woodcarving University.
Just $22.95 Per Month, Or 77 Cents Per Day.
We send you DVDs by world class experts. Keep up to three DVDs in your workshop or home at any one time. Return one and get another. Return all three and get a whole new batch.

For less than you'd pay for a single carving blank, and for far far far less than you'd spent on a nice hook knife, you will get hours of expert woodcarving instruction that will make you into a master.

P.S. A common question that many carvers ask is "will these skills work for me?" This is a valid question - you want to make sure that you're going to learn skills that work for you!

Young, old, single-knife guys and chainsaw-grinder women, neophyte and seasoned woodcarving veteran, hundreds of people have written to us praising the videos and telling us how it helped them.
