Woodcarving: Tools, Materials & Equipment, Volume 2

by Chris Pye

This new edition in two volumes, fully revised and expanded with new color photography throughout will ensure that this work continues to be the standard reference source on the subject. The second volume covers many vitally important woodcarving topics including drawing and modeling, finishing, holding work safely, design of the workplace, using power tools, useful supplementary tools, and an invaluable section on wood itself.

[Dan Carey · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is so much good information here, things that other woodcarving books don't focus on (designing/drawing/modeling, modifying tools, bench discipline), or covered to a depth other books don't aspire to (holding devices, finishing). The pictures are colorful, clear, and up-close. The illustrations helpful.
(BTW, this actually Volume 2. See the cover image. Somehow Goodreads has screwed up the metadata on the book.)

Covers so much, yet provides so little useful information.
