Great!!!,
By J. Grove "beachBike" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Celtic Carved Lovespoons: 30 Patterns (Paperback)
This book has a lot of nice patterns and designs. It gives examples of a variety of woods and finishes. I would have liked more celtic knots, but I can't be disappointed with the number of patterns, detailed photographs, and tips.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting and inspiring book!,
By M. Martin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Celtic Carved Lovespoons: 30 Patterns (Paperback)
The authors explained the origin and basic ideas about love spoons, and then showed tools and techniques for making some of the basic designs. Since the tools listed are in metric measurements, for someone who knows nothing about carving tools, it can be confusing at first. You will find out you don't need exactly the same tools or as many tools to make those spoons. There are quite a few designs from easy to more advanced for readers to try. I have made some with the designed slightly modified. The result has been good. This is not a pattern book, but rather an introduction to the art and basic techniques. You will find that what looked fancy to you at first are actually achievable. Suitable for beginners.
