Like having a teacher by your side. October 7, 2008
This book is full of wonderful information presented clearly and in a very understandable way. As a woodcarver for some years, I was delighted to get pointers and insight from a master carver. The book is also a delight to read. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Well Written, Great Informative Book June 5, 2008
This book is well written and easy to read. A lot of books by woodworkers or contractors are hard to read but this one is an easy read. Its' very informative but its' not enough for a beginner to read and start carving. It only covers information about the materials needed to start carving. It is still good for a beginner to read as it has a lot of good material about the tools and materials. It really opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities.
Basic woodcarving reference manual February 15, 2007
This ought to be within reach if you love to carve in wood. Plenty of illustrations and easy to understand text. Having this book would keep you from having to own a lot of other related material. It covers it all, especially with vol.2.
Nothing else like it! June 6, 2006

Chris Pye is very thorough in his writing with high attention to detail, as can be witnessed in his other books also.

3 out of 5 found this review helpful
i have both of chris pye's books, and i belong to his web page. his books are well written and illustrated, and are well worth the money. not only do you have the advantage of his writtings, but he is one of the few pros that you can send an email to and get a response. pro woodcarvers can be snobs. whether you are an experienced carver or a beginner his books are great and he is always very helpful.
