Chip Carving Gourds,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Guide to Chip-Carving Gourds (Paperback)
This is an excellant book written by a wonderful gourd carver who I have met and received training from. She has years of experience and is one of the best in the country. She also shares much work from other carvers, many I am sure learned from her. You will be amazed by the beautiful work presented in this book. Thank you Lyn for this great gourd book!

Book doesn't teach much, one basic idea used many different ways. Not inspiring. Redundant. However, it DOES teach that one idea, over and over and over.. blah.
