Woodcarving Tools, Materials & Equipment is Outstanding!,
By Paul Mullen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Woodcarving: Tools, Materials and Equipment (Paperback)
Chris is an English carver with a vast knowledge of tools and carving history. This not your typical wood carving book with remedial carving instructions and patterns for spirits and gnomes. In fact there are "no" patterns in this book.The book has a very thorough description of every carving tool imaginable and a discussion of how many of them are made commercially and explains how others can be made at home. He also tells you how to modify existing tools--reshaping, grinding, and bending. He included a very good explanation on how to anneal, harden, and temper your own carving tools. I first opened this book, early one evening, intending to read for an hour or so; I finally set it down at 2:00am. In one session, I learned more than enough to justify the cost. 15 of 18 people found the following review helpful:

Wow, excellent book on carving tools!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Woodcarving: Tools, Materials and Equipment (Paperback)
This is not a book on carving, it is a book about the tools and etc. The sections on selecting and sharpening tools are spot on. Mr. Pye writes very well; this is a good read.Highly recommended 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Not what I expected,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Woodcarving: Tools, Materials and Equipment (Paperback)
This book is an encyclopedia. I just wanted to know what to buy as a first tool and find out what kind of wood to start with. Wow! There is a lot more to whittlin' than I expected. I need a basic primer for now. I will keep this book as a master reference for the future. The sizing chart is way cool.
