Basic Chip Carving With Pam Gresham

Summary: Best chip carving "how-to" out there
Review: I have several of Wayne Barton's books on chip carving. Although nicely done they pale in comparison to Pam Greshams works. Although she does not claim to be a trained teacher this lady does it better than anyone else out there. She will have you carving the basic chip in about 30 minutes. And best yet, she explains each movement and how to do it clearly and with great aids.
I can't say enough good things about this book. I only wish there was a companion video to go with it. If you are interested in chip carving don't be afraid to buy this book. It's worth every penny.

Review: Never chip carved in my life. This book gives anybody a chance. Tons of pictures that illustrate everthing the author is explaining. My first thought was that Pam Gresham was one those "once in a lifetime teachers" BEFORE she started carving. That not being the case she has a gift in both teaching and carving. According to her credits she has earned numerous awards.

Highly recommended
