carving for the beginner, Dec 29 2005
By lovewood - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carving Fantasy & Legend Figures in Wood: Patterns & Instructions for Dragons, Wizards & Other Creatures of Myth (Paperback)
Loved the book but wish he had included a list of good places to find and brands of tools that work best. Also wish he had included a western type dragon besides the oriental one. Good book even for beginners since he shows step by step how to carve all the included designs.

This review is from: Carving Fantasy & Legend Figures in Wood: Patterns & Instructions for Dragons, Wizards & Other Creatures of Myth (Paperback)
Over sized paperback book with hundreds of color pictures and a dozen legitimate templates. - Unicorn, Fairie, Wizard, Gryphon, Dragon, Mermaid and more. Complete guidelines for painting them too.This book won't turn you into a professional wood carver but if you want a book that will help you learn while giving you some really attractive fantasy carvings to work from then this is it.
If you want to make these figures you have to keep in mind that you need some decent carving tools and a scrollsaw.

This review is from: Carving Fantasy & Legend Figures in Wood: Patterns & Instructions for Dragons, Wizards & Other Creatures of Myth (Paperback)
"Carving Fantasy & Legend Figures in Wood" is a great book for the entry level or intermediate carver. I am just starting out in carving and found the projects challenging, but not out of reach.The sections on tools and finishes are a little light and I would have liked more information, but there are other books that cover these areas better.
The pictures throughout the book are just fantastic and are very helpful! This really helped me a lot!
Highly Recommended!
Listmania!
