3.0 out of 5 stars Totem Pole Critic, April 25, 2000

By	Gord Seeburger (Waterloo Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

Very detailed diagrams and helpful pictures. Steps to produce results were not overly detailed yet specific enough to leave out guess work. The intro to each project gives a significant background of the history of the carvings. MAJOR COMPLAINT:Purchasing this book based on the title was found to be very dispointing since very little information or projects were on Totem poles.
