The Complete Woodcarver's Handbook by Graham R. Bull.......2003-09-05

This book is a very good instructive book for people who are just getting into the art of wood carving. I also feel that even for the Experienced carver its a pretty good book to read over. Everything is laid out well and there is instructive patterns for new carvers to do and follow along as you read through the book. I read the book from cover to cover and was pleased with what they explained in the book. The only down fall about this book is that they kept saying a few things in the book over and over instilling some of the key points of what any wood carver Should follow. Thats where My Four star rating came into play. I feel talking about it about one or two times is more than enough. Other than that its a great book to add to any wood carvers collection. They also have some good instructive material on woods that can be carved how to sharpen your tools ect.

Great Book for Beginners and old hands alike........2003-03-14

Great book, lots of information for all skill levels of carvers. Worth the price. I have used this book for sharping, carving patterns, ideals and tools you need. It is an easy read.
