    absolutely wonderful!
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2013*

i have chris pye's first edition of this book, which is older, and three-hundred fifty some pages. this new revised edition is split into two volumes. both are so good that i bought both editions-the original single volume edition and the revised two-volume edition. i have his other books. he is brilliant and handles the english language as well as he handles wood and tools. new edition has color pics, both editions are absolutely amazing. buy anything he writes; you'll be happy

    Required Reference Book
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2003*

This is an oustanding reference.  It answers questions raised by beginners and experienced carvers, alike.  Especially helpful is the section on sharpening.  Not only does Chris explain, in detail, how various carving tools should be sharpened, but also explains why.After I read my copy, I ordered both volumes for our carving club library.  Once members have seen this one, I'm sure they'll want to purchase a copy for their own.
