Novice carvers can take their turn with 10 detailed patterns of popular Halloween-themed figures, including a mummy, a witch, ghastly ornaments, a black cat, and a ghost trick-or-treater.

This review is from: Halloween Woodcarving: 10 Frightfully Fun Projects for the Beginner (Paperback)
I am a rookie carver so I purchased this book for learning and fun. It has a great section on tools and how to use and care for them. Then it has step by step instructions that are easy to follow and will give you great results. I carved the Pumpkins and the Mummy and everybody really likes them, but it was easy using this book !!
