height160 div If I had to pick just one book to get started carving
wood this one would be in the running.br br A book that will get
you started in a hobby for under 8.00 Thats almost unheard of. Its
true in this case. If you want to learn how to carve there is
plenty here to build your skills. br br This book gives you
projects to get started carving wood right now. Plus, it gives the
tools and methods to design your own projects. I really cant ask
more of a beginners book than that. br br The projects are
explained in clear language. The pictures are well done and theres
plenty of them. br br Most importantly, this book has plenty of
patterns and designs to get you started. Yes, there are a few campy
and cartoonish patterns, but there are also patterns based on
National Wildlife Federation stamps, wild animals, Abe Lincoln,
dogs, birds, etc. br br I found it useful to see the level of
detail for the various patterns in order to design my own projects.
There is also a section that talks about pattern making.br br Im
giving four stars rather than five because after almost 30 years it
could stand a new edition with some updates for the computer age
and new resources. All in all though this is a solid book and a
steal at 8.00.keywordwood carving
