other soft-block materials, the creative call is doubly delicious...The call is irresistible, and that's

you to the basics of carving images, and then he introduces you to mail art, letterboxing and

problems and to improve your technique. Beginners and intermediate carvers alike will benefit

Rubber Rabbit of Oklahoma says: it DOES have some great advice--especially if you want to
try other tools or want to know how deep is too deep; how the sides of the carving should look,
etc. AND there are some nice designs to copy for your own personal use!
Patricia E. Pace of Tucson,Arizona says: I really enjoyed this book. I have carved some, but
was looking for more info and this book provided it. Also, there were lots of clips to copy and
use during your own learning process. I have found it hard to find appropriate images that are
good for carving. I highly recommend this book for your reference material.
Thanks to a wonderful, generous, forward-thinking friend from New York, a carver
