3.0 out of 5 stars
40 advanced articles on wood carving.,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
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.
