Default So, what carving books
have you read recently or are reading right now?

Me, I just borrowed a copy of Shawn Cipa's Carving Fantasy & Legend from (who else?) Fox Chapel.


I think the library is going to be mad at me when I claim I lost their book.

Chris Pye's Elements of Woodcarving, and a bunch of his "Slipstones" that are now in a PDF format I can read.

"Caricature Heads" by Marv Kaisersatt. It's very informative.

Whitecree,
I enjoyed reading Shawn Cipa's Carving Fantasy & Legend so much I've cut out all of the patterns and have finished the dragon and the Unicorn. Finishing up on the Mermaid and that one has been challenging. Really having fun with it.

Finally getting the hang of eyes thanks to Rick at Little Shavers. He recommended this book and carved me an "Eye"dea stick to go by.

Thanks Rick!!!!

I'm constantly using different books for reference, but the ones most often used lately are a couple Shawn Cipa's mixed with a few Ron Ransoms!

Currently working my way through

"Grinling Gibbons and The Art of Carving" by David Esterly.
Thank God for photos!
