Customer Reviews

Simple & fun

Rick has his own style & allows you to see how he does it. I had fun with this book & carved a couple birds. Pretty cool in that he explains the details too. Not the "end all" of wood carving books but a good place to start. You can accomplish the task & he explains his philosophy of such. I'm happy I bought the book. It was fun! (Fun to leave it on the coffee table so guests can see too! Good conversation ensues)

Woodcarving with Rick Butz

I enjoyed the book a great deal and gave a copy to my uncle this christmas. He also gives it a thumbs up. Rick does a great job at giving detailed instructions and the photos are excellent as well. The material covered ranges from beginning whittler to well seasoned carver levels. Whether you choose to carve with just a knife or you carve with a thousand chisels and goudges, you can find a great little project in Rick's book. I really enjoyed carving the wood spirit and merganser. Great idea book.
