A great book for the beginning Woodcarver,
By buddy.goynes@kvaerner.com (Katy, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Carving Animal Caricatures (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
This book is a great start for the beginner. Complete set-by-step instructions with 72 photos & 131 drawings to go by for the 24 projects covered. The projects are really good looking "folk-art" animal caricatures.

This review is from: Carving Animal Caricatures (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
I gave this book one star only because I could not give it 1/2. This book is a series of reprints of old (really old, like 1960's) popular mechanics articles. There is no instructional material to speak of in this book, just a series of patterns with minimal detail. I put this book on the bottom shelf underneath old woodcaring magazines, the only reason I didn't throw it in the trash was I had spent the price of a good book on it and hated to see that go to the landfill. Buy books by Mr Pete Leclair, Dave Stetson, Mike Shipley, or Misters Wolf or Enlow instead of this "moldy-oldy" and you will receive value for your dollars.

This review is from: Carving Animal Caricatures (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
This is a very good book on carving. Anyone can grasp what is being said and be carving in no time. Book gives a list of basic tools and wood needed. Use white pine to start out when you have a few carvings under your belt go to more expensive wood if you want to. Be warned once you start you will be carving every chance you get. The main thing is HAVE FUN. Remember carvers are sharp people.
