Woodcarving: The Beginner's Guide, 1 April 2000
By Roger A. Stephenson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Woodcarving: The Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
This is the best book on traditional woodcarving that there is. It was written by a woodcarver from Britain, and was originally published over there. In the book he teaches the proper methods of holding and using the woodcarving chisels. He also teaches proper methods of sharpening and taking care of the chisels. I have been privileged to take two classes from a world-renowned master woodcarver who recommends this book in his classes.

Poorly Illustrated outdated text, 27 Jan 2012
By Joe Pero "Joseph Pero" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Woodcarving: The Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
The photo's in this book are about 40 years old that were poor to begin with and don't offer much if anything today as much of a beginner text. There are far too many up to date, well illustrated and well documented carving texts and DVD's out there. Pass it by.
