The Best Instructional guide To Wood Carving Ever Writen,
By A Customer
This review is from: Carving the Human Face: Capturing Character and Expression in Wood (Paperback)
This book is, without a doubt, the best instructional book for wood carvers in the past decade. I sincerely wish that Jeff Phares will do another book soon. I am certainly happy that the book is available through Amazon as his book seems to be selling out at most book stores.
