Book Review: Carving Tree Bark
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a wood carver and belong to our local Tri-Valley Woodcarvers as well as CA Carvers Guild, a large number of us use this book for our Bark Carving reference. It is very well illustrated and the step-by-step process shown leaves nothing out. I highly recommend this book for both beginners and seasoned carvers.

Providing a complete review of cottonwood, the most commonly used form of bark, this guide addresses the unique challenges and benefits of carving tree bark and offers information on what to expect from this atypical wood source, including the best places to find it. An important section on troubleshooting teaches carvers what to do when they encounter rot or insect damage in their bark. One complete project, the Whimsical House, is outlined from start to finish. Close-up photography and instructional captions are included for added guidance. A full-color photography review offers a glimpse at the range of projects possible for this unusual material.Fun with Paper & Wood, Stones & Knives Books
