a must for beginners

When I wanted to learn how to woodcarve, I checked this book out from the library and found it so helpful that I bought it. It guides the beginner through all of the necessary skills, like picking out tools and wood, sharpening tools, the basic cuts, etc., then it goes on to show how to do a woodcarving, using detailed instructions and very helpful diagrams and pictures. Other books that I looked at recommended buying large expensive materials (such as an electric grindstone and a full workbench) but this book starts you off with just the bare essentials and allows you to work up at your own pace.
