The ultimate beginners guide to Wood Carving.,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Projects for Woodcarvers: A Pictorial Introduction to Woodcarving (Schiffer Book for Woodcarvers) (Paperback)
Hats off.......or in this case, boots off, to Larry Green!. The "First Projects for Wood Carvers" is a wish come true for beginners. Clear, step by step instructions for creating three seperate projects. The cowboy boot, Gandolf the Dog and the Nativity is wonderfully illustrated and so easy to carve. My daughter and I have spent many enjoyable hours creating these projects. I believe this book is a must for beginner and intermediate Wood Carvers.

Excellent for beginners,

This review is from: First Projects for Woodcarvers: A Pictorial Introduction to Woodcarving (Schiffer Book for Woodcarvers) (Paperback)
I've always enjoyed woodworking, so it seemed only natural to give wood carving a shot. This book definitely helped me to get started and has a good section on sharpening your knives. There are a handful of typos and a few captions that don't match the pictures, but that's ok. I would like to have seen a few more projects, but I'm sure the authors did not want to overwhelm the beginner carver. All in all, I would recommend this book to others.

Item took too long to receive, this is one downside to Amazon.com, it takes forever to receive your order. Other online stores are much faster.
