A Bushcraft Guide To Spoon Carving (Bushcraft & Woodcraft Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

It's an ok introductory overview, but the price is way too high for the length and amount of information included. It was well written and included good information. However, it only included a few of the basic cuts and knife grips. It took approximately 3 minutes to read through the book.I started spoon carving last winter and had to give it up as the temps started to rise in the spring (I carve outside and live on the Florida border). I was hoping for something I could use as a refresher course as the temps have dropped again and I am about to start carving again. The straight knife grips were a good refresher, but the book failed to include any of the more commonly used hook knife grips. I was also expecting at least one pattern.All in all, it wasn't a bad guide, but a price closer to $2.00 would be more appropriate.

Great book for the outdoor type person,especially if you live where there is a lot of birch trees.

No mention of how soon to carve the wood after harvesting or how long to dry before treating with oil. Nothing about how to dry and keep from splitting ect.

Straight to the point and very insightful. Some other authors are very wordy and try to make a simple spoon carving book into some great novel. It's kind of pretentious. But THIS book is simple and direct. Great read!

This book takes you directly through the process of carving a single spoon from a branch. If you want a coffee table book to make you dream of carving spoons, this is not that. It is for the person who actually wants to carve them.

Could be longer, and offer more in the way of methodologies (drawknife instead of axe, newer knives avaialble, etc.).

Includes very good pictures and a guide to the basic tools, woods and techniques needed to get started carving spoons. With this information you can get your project safely started and finish a spoon.

Short, sweet, to the point and just what I needed. As a beginning carver I found the material in this book quite helpful. There was advice on tools (both type and brand) and very clear instructions on how to actually go from branch to spoon. A+

If you are interested in carving or would like to have a go. Spoons are a great place to start and this book will get you started. Whether you are a beginner to carving spoons or more experienced this book will inspire and show you new ideas. A great book for carving spoons. I had carved spoons before but after reading this I started carving more useful spoons and more intricate designs
