Spoon A Guide to Spoon Carving and the New Wood Culture Barn the Spoon 9781501182761 Books Reviews

• I'm fairly new to greenwood carving. Mostly spoons. I've bought several books to see how others approach this pass time. This book is by far the one that I would recommend to anyone interested in starting out or furthering thier spoon carving.
  It is obvious that Barn cared enough to take the time to make it easily understood. Full of insights and usable information at a real price.
• If you are thinking of learning how to carve spoons this is a must have book. Out of the 3 or 4 spoon books that I looked through this one was the one that I decided to buy. It is an enjoyable read with beautiful full color pictures of many kinds and styles of spoons. Most important of all he gives you pages of instructions on how to carve each spoon he has pictured. If you're like me and want to get just one spoon carving book this would be it.
• This is a great book by one of the master green wood crafters and professional spoon carvers in the UK. Few people have developed the craft to this extent. Good for the beginner through seasoned carver. Beautiful designs and lots of examples of axing out technique, and knife holds for carving. I recommend this book highly for those interested in spoon, scoop, or server carving.
• I’m a hobby woodworker and like any woodworker love the feeling of wood in my hand with a hand tool. So naturally this book seemed worth a try. Well...Not only does Barn show, describe and demystify a variety of techniques, he also shows you how to keep yourself out of the ER! Perhaps the most outstanding element of this book is simply the writing. Barn’s eloquence with words makes this book a joy to read. The man is clearly a closet academic - such a gorgeous writer! It leaves the reader with that Sunday afternoon whittle the wood while sitting on a log in the middle of the woods feeling. My wife, an avid reader, but a woman who has never picked up a saw simply loves to pick up this book. I highly recommend Spoon - it’s simply a masterpiece!
• Great book., would not hesitate to buy it again. If you have never made a spoon this book will give you a good kick start. Well written and easy to understand. Even though the book has some great photography, it could use a few more illustrations of the processs used to carve. That’s the reason for a rating of four.
• I loved reading this book. It is interesting, entertaining, well written, and full of valuable information. The combination of rational advise and the unique ecological perspective of the author make it a really spectacular read.
• He really knows his stuff. About 30 different spoons shown, and hints and tips on how to make them. I have several books on spoons, this is the best.
  The standard others should look up to.
• A good selection of ideas are in this book
