Carving Found Wood
Anything with Vic Hood in the title and you know your eyes are in for a treat, this is a great book to have on the coffee table as well as in you carving shop.
GREAT BOOK
Inspiration is a good description. It really made me want to get back into carving. I have been away from it for a while but this book brought me right back. Great photos and the instructions are outstanding.
Misleading Title
I bought this book as a present but when it arrived it definitely was not like what I expected. There is only one project design with directions. The rest of the book is just pictures of what other artists have done. Maybe this would be a good book if you are a skilled carver but for a novice it may be difficult to replicate the designs without any directions.
