Perfect gift for the beginner whittler in your life
I got this for my brother for Christmas. He was just getting into whittling as a hobby. He loved this hook/ it explains the art really well and easy to follow along. The options for designs are really interesting and fun.

Great pictures and Instructions, Will require time to develop the skills
The book is well done and takes you through several projects with great instructions. My son wanted to learn to whittle, and he enjoyed selecting projects. Since he was a complete beginner and just getting started with whittling and carving, his projects didn't turn out looking like the ones in the book. With practice he will get there, but it will take time and effort to learn the techniques and control required to mimic what is shown in the book.

Great for getting started in carving.
My kids are jack-of-all-trades and got interested in carving recently. I gave this book along with a few others, a carving set, sanding set, and gloves to get them started. They have been doing small whittling carvings so far and are working their way up as they get more skills. Can't wait to see what they are creating next year.

Material del libro es bueno, pero llego maltratado
Llego un poco maltratado, no tomaron ninguna medida de protección solo venia en la bolsa de entrega sin embalaje o alguna caja para evitar que se maltratara.
