The Lost Carving

A Journey to the Heart of Making

David Esterly

This beautiful book is a meditation on creativity, discovery, and rebirth. After being awestruck by a carving in a London church, David Esterly dedicated his life to woodcarving. He is now the foremost practitioner of a forgotten technique that revolutionized ornamental sculpture. The Lost Carving explores the connection between creativity and physical work, and illuminates the passionate pursuit of a vocation that unites head, hand, and heart.

Visited Hampton Court Palace today with m’royal @MeganMullally & saw these amazing limewood carvings by #GrinlingGibbons except the last photo which was a reproduction by David Esterly, the story of which he richly details in his excellent book The Lost Carving. @offerman_shop      source
