Fantastic book! Keep in mind, though, that the Author expects you to know basic techniques ("Now make a deep Stop cut") and terminology (Be sure to have various size 'sweeps' on hand).

Good color pictures but that's about all that good. Does steps go up and down or left to right? No mention of tools used size or other. Book is not for novice, good pictures but this don't help me that much waste of money.

If you love carving wood, this would be a good book for you. It gives you ideas that you might have not thought of yourself. I got this book at a really good price and it came in the mail very quickly.

This book shows details on carving but doesnt show details of making a walking stick - for instance the rubber tip on the bottom or the handle options - it is fine for making "wood spirits" though

I had seen this book at one of the Woodlanders Gatherings in Mineral Point, WI a few years back. Delighted to now own a copy. This book has great information for anyone with an interest in the process of carving wood spirits &/or in green man lore. (The Woodlanders group is dedicated to sharing traditional, rustic, & archaic art forms, and preserving those artisan traditions for future generations. Annual group Gatherings, each with several days of hands-on instructional workshops, are held every summer in Wisconsin & in New York. The Wisconsin Gathering is in mid-July at the Shake Rag Alley Center for the Living Arts, Mineral Point, WI.)
