This review is from: Essential Woodcarving Techniques (Paperback)
This is a very useful book as it takes you through how to create some specific items as well as explaining the techniques needed to create some of the basic shapes, shapes you will always use. This book is very useful for people like me starting out. It has helped bring ideas into reality. There are not many wood carving books that have this amount of useful information.
The best carving book I have seen so far.
