It's an ok introductory overview, but the price is way too high for the length and amount of information included.
It's an ok introductory overview, but the price is way too high for the length and amount of information included. It was well written and included good information. However, it only included a few of the basic cuts and knife grips. It took approximately 3 minutes to read through the book.I started spoon carving last winter and had to give it up as the temps started to rise in the spring (I carve outside and live on the Florida border). I was hoping for something I could use as a refresher course as the temps have dropped again and I am about to start carving again. The straight knife grips were a good refresher, but the book failed to include any of the more commonly used hook knife grips. I was also expecting at least one pattern.All in all, it wasn't a bad guide, but a price closer to $2.00 would be more appropriate.

Handy book to have.

Short and simple guide.
No mention of how soon to carve the wood after harvesting or how long to dry before treating with oil. Nothing about how to dry and keep from splitting ect.

Pretty rad
Straight to the point and very insightful. Some other authors are very wordy and try to make a simple spoon carving book into some great novel. It's kind of pretentious. But THIS book is simple and direct. Great read!

Good, direct instructions to get you carving wooden spoons
This book takes you directly through the process of carving a single spoon from a branch. If you want a coffee table book to make you dream of carving spoons, this is not that. It is for the person who actually wants to carve them.

Could be improved.
Could be longer, and offer more in the way of methodologies (drawknife instead of axe, newer knives avaialble, etc.).

Spoon!!!
Short, sweet, to the point and just what I needed. As a beginning carver I found the material in this book quite helpful. There was advice on tools (both type and brand) and very clear instructions on how to actually go from branch to spoon. A+
