Review: buy this - This book is an excellent place to start from. The author was able to make a book that is well written and has easy to follow instructions and pictures.
Review: Woodcarving at its Best! - Chris Pye is one of the very best woodcarver's I have ever seen. I have several of his books and jumped at the chance to get this one. If you are considering going into woodcarving either professionally or as a hobby, I would recommend purchasing one or all of Chris' books! He covers all aspects of what tools to buy, how to sharpen them, and most importantly how to use them. There are lots of great photos in this book as well. Very pleased with this purchase,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great resource for a beginner
*by B***N on January 21, 2019*

This book is packed great information, pictures that do a good job of illustrating the topic at hand and examples of beautiful, inspiring work. My only complaint is that certain parts are a little too brief. I feel that the section on sharpening withholds too much information... and then encourages you to consult (i.e., buy) the author’s book on the topic to find out more. Instead, I would recommend checking out YouTube and his site. Although, when it comes to sharpening, I highly recommend Popular Woodworking’s The Perfect Edge. Carving tools are only one section in that book but there is so much great information that workworkers should know about.
