Description: end_display_feedback_code_window Practical Wax Modeling: Advanced Techiques for Wax Modelersby Hiroshi Tsuyuki and Yoko Ohba“I highly recommend this book of technical information and procedures for anyone wanting to learn wax modeling techniques… this book is clear and well organized. Good large step-by-step explanatory black and white photos illustrate the points made in the concise, strictly informational text. This is the second in a series of books on professional wax working for lost wax casting. It might be useful to have read the first volume - ‘Basic Wax Modeling’ before this volume but it is still a good stand-alone text”. - Charles Lewton-Brain (internationally known lecturer, author, designer, inventor of Fold-Forming) from his review on Ganoksin. In this book jewelry wax modeling techniques are introduced and explained in detail, illustrated with step-by-step photographs.Some special features of Practical Wax Modeling include:a) Practical applications when using a variety of waxesb) Mitsuro and its usesc) Demonstrations of a variety of texturesd) Methodology of finishing castings.Practical Wax Modeling was written as an applied compilation for the book Basic Wax Modeling.TABLE OF CONTENTSSamples of Wax Modeling Techniques 4Samples of Finished Products 5,6,7Wax Modeling for Professionals 9Special Features and Suggestions 10I.
