3.0 out of 5 stars 40 advanced articles on wood carving., May 30, 2000
This review is from: Carving (Fine Woodworking On) (Paperback)
This book is a compendium of 40 articles that appeared in Fine Woodworking magazine. The articles are almost exclusively for the advanced woodworker, and cover topics from tool usage to advanced patterns. In general the articles appeared short (as one would expect from a magazine), merely an introduction. Therefore, I would not recommend this book to anyone who is not already advanced in woodcarving.
