| book description |

The highly acclaimed memoir of a renowned artisan with a new introduction by Jenny Uglow,Â The Lost CarvingÂ reveals the inspirational secrets of wood and craft. On a chance visit to St James's church, Piccadilly, David Esterly was awestruck by the delicate beauty and ambition of master carver Grinling Gibbonsâ€™s limewood decorations. The encounter changed the course of Esterly's life as he devoted himself to these lost techniques. By 1986, when a fire at Hampton Court Palace destroyed much of Gibbonsâ€™s masterpiece, Esterly was the only candidate to restore his idolâ€™s work to glory, though the experience forced him to question his abilities and delve deeply into the subtle skills of making.Â
