The most important written contribution to carving ever.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Adopting an easy to follow user friendly approach Peter Berry takes us through his wonderful world of all things wooden. Peter explodes some of the most popular myths regarding woodturning and chisel choice and succeeds in making the craft of woodcarving accessible to the layman. The book is also punctuated by a series of amusing anecdotes gathered during Peter`s woodcarving experiences, adding further to the invitational feel. Peter Berry comes across as a well travelled and extremely knowledgable individual, indeed the sort of man who you wouldn`t mind chewing the fat with in your local tavern, so approachable is his style. On a more serious level he has created an account of woodcarving and its methods that simultaneously excites, amuses and most importantly informs. This is the most important contribution to the art that I have ever come across.
