This review is from: Woodcarving: Tools, Materials & Equipment, Volume 2 (Paperback)
Very comprehensive set about carving tools equipment etc.
Both books together really gives you all you will need to know to get started and going the rest of your life... Chris Pye is very thorough in his writing with high attention to detail, as can be witnessed in his other books also.

This review is from: Woodcarving: Tools, Materials & Equipment, Volume 2 (Paperback)
This book, along with volume 1, are well written and very easy to read. There's plenty of pictures so everything is clear. This book is half the size of volume 1 but the same price but it has a lot of good stuff in there that is important for every wood carver to know.
