Simply...The Best

5 STARS...Custom Gunstock Carving!!! Fast delivery and in a condition better than expected. This is a great book for the novice carver. Easy to follow instructions with plenty of pictures and page after page of illustrations and patterns to copy. I am a novice carver, and so far this is the most informative, instructive, and easiest to follow book in my growing library. This is the book I've been searching for!

A beginning carver

This is a must book for beginning carvers. Mr. Eck's very detailed instructions, practice exercises and techniques are great in the hands on practice and development of new carvers. The patterns in the book are the best.

Have To Have Book

I recently attended an NRA sponsored class in woodcarving and checkering. This book goes beyond what I learned, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you are interested in carving gunstocks, this is a must have book.

Great Book!

This is an outstanding book for anyone interested in carving gunstocks, or actually any type of relief carving. The author takes you through the entire process in a logical sequence, with well written explanations, and great photos. There are carving exercises that teach you the basics, and then advanced carving exercises where you will actually complete beautiful carvings. Included in the book are several great patterns that the author has generously granted anyone permission to use, even commercially. I highly recommend this book!
