Book Reviews of How to Carve Wood: A Book of Projects and Techniques (Fine Woodworking Book)
Book Review: Covers a lot of ground
Summary: 5 Stars
As a beginner, I appreciated the breadth of topics covered in the book, particularly the various styles of carving. This was my introduction to chip carving, and I think he covered it quite well. Sharpening is also covered, but I'd already bought "The Complete Guide to Sharpening" by Leonard Lee (of Lee Valley & Veritas) and found that to be a most comprehensive source of information on that topic.
