3.0 out of 5 stars A hobbyist's instruction book, February 27, 2008
This 7" x 10" hardcover book is a beginners guide to carving, mostly abstract animals, from wood. The text length is 110 pages.

As one takes on each of these projects, (about one project for every 2 pages), he or she gains knowledge and experience to go on to the next carving challenge. The author, (W. Ben Hunt), has provided clear instruction and detailed drawings on each of the projects.

Hunt also covers the tools you'll need and the best woods for carving, as well as discussing safe whittling and carving techniques. This section of the book is profusely illustrated with clear black-and-white photos.

For what it is, I don't think one could do better in finding competent instruction to get started with this hobby -- 5 stars for those folks. For the casual reader, though, this book would be pretty boring and dry. I inherited my copy from my father, to whom it was given as a small retirement gift.
