David Esterly wrote a book called The Lost Carving: A Journey to the Heart of Making in 2012.
Awestruck at the sight of a Grinling Gibbons carving in a London church, David Esterly chose to dedicate his life to woodcarving—its physical rhythms, intricate beauty, and intellectual demands. Forty years later, he is the foremost practitioner of Gibbons’s forgotten technique, which revolutionized ornamental sculpture in the late 1600s with its spectacular cascades of flowers, fruits, and foliage.

After a disastrous fire at Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace, Esterly was asked to replace the Gibbons masterpiece destroyed by the flames. It turned out to be the most challenging year in Esterly’s life, forcing him to question his abilities and delve deeply into what it means to make a thing well. Written with a philosopher’s intellect and a poet’s grace, The Lost Carving explores the connection between creativity and physical work and illuminates the passionate pursuit of a vocation that unites head and hand and heart.

Hello Alexander, Is it possible for you to list out all the Ashley Illes tools you used here. Thank you!

Hello Annette,
Yes. I will work on it.

Hi Alexander,
Here are the tools that you mentioned in this clip.

I made one rosette but it has mistakes in it. So I was looking at the tools you used. I have a Pfeil set but did not have any Ashley Iles tools. I bought a 3/8 47 and it cuts beautifully. The Benson tools are out of stock in New York. I had to purchase from a company in England.

Anyway, here are some of the tools used from this video in workshop 4.
Chisel 7-14mm
Chisel 8-10mm gouge
Chisel 6-10 mm gouge
6 fish tail to clean background
1/16 inch Ashley Iles grounding tool
00-15 Lamb grounding tool
