EXACTLY WHAT THE TITLE SAYS,

This review is from: How to Carve a Woodspirit in a Hiking Stick (Paperback)
Every once in a while you find exactly what you're looking for, and this is one of those cases. This is a concise and inexpensive little booklet for the absolute beginner in woodcarving. There is no filler, whatsoever-no pretentious history of the art, no tedious treatise on dendrology or superfluous appendix of suppliers. He gives you a list of the few tools needed and proceeds with a series of black and white photographs accompanied by just enough text to describe each step. While a couple of these descriptions could use some very slight improvement in clarity, the bottom line is that I had no experience in woodcarving, started with a stick and an hour later had a credible woodspirit. It was fun and I definitely recommend this fine little book.

Great little instruction book about how to carve a woodspirit. I used it to carve one in my walking stick and was successful on the first try! Gives detailed step-by-step instructions that are very easy to understand. Once you carve a couple of woodspirits using the instructions you pretty much have it memorized and you can start to improvise and be creative and come up with your own designs! Just remember! Always carve away from yourself and you'll never cut yourself!
