MUST HAVE PART 25
THIS BOOK IS A TRUUE MUST HAVE. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CARVING PART OF WOODWORKING. BEING THIS MY SECOND BOOK I TRULY KNEW WHAT TO GO AFTER, WHAT I WANTED AND HOW TO GET THE BEST OF IT. WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS READ AND VOLUME ONE ALSO BEOFRE TRYING ANYBODY ELSE'S BOOKS.

Nothing else like it!5
Very comprehensive set about carving tools equipment etc.
Both books together really gives you all you will need to know to get started and going the rest of your life...
Chris Pye is very thorough in his writing with high attention to detail, as can be witnessed in his other books also.

Well Written and a good read5
This book, along with volume 1, are well written and very easy to read. There's plenty of pictures so everything is clear. This book is half the size of volume 1 but the same price but it has a lot of good stuff in there that is important for every wood carver to know.
