Janney Engraaving Guide,
By
This review is from: Gunstock Carving: A Step-By-Step Guide to Engraving Rifles and Shotguns (Paperback)
I ordered two books on this subject at the same time. This book was clear and to the point--and very helpful. The other "Custom Gunstock Carving" was a big disappointment.
The Janney book was better illustrated, better written, and had better sequences of what to do next. Gunstock Carving had a list of suppliers which was extremely helpful especially for us beginners.

Professional results on the first attempt,
By John A Bowser (Gatineau, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gunstock Carving: A Step-By-Step Guide to Engraving Rifles and Shotguns (Paperback)
The results achieved on my first attempt were very satisfying. I was surprised on receiving the book that most of the work is done thru a pattern with rotary tools. The text is plain and complete, and the illustrations better than average. I was particularily happy with my results (after a bit of practice) with the fish scale checkering. A real bargain.

Great "how to" for rotary engraving gunstocks,
By
This review is from: Gunstock Carving: A Step-By-Step Guide to Engraving Rifles and Shotguns (Paperback)
This book explains the specific use of ultra high speed pneumatic rotary engraving tools in the art of gunstock decorative carving.
It contains a couple of hundred color photographs showing in great detail the layout and steps to create fishscale and basket weave checkering, oak and acanthus leaf carving, and a wildlife scene. The author does a great job of answering all questions you might have as he takes you through the complete process step-by-step and tool-by-tool. Also included are full page photocopiable patterns for all of the previously listed items and more. And to top it all off, for the reader's inspiration the author included 23 color photos of other finished carving. If you want to do decorative wood carving with an ultra high speed engraver, this book is a must have.
