I liked Tangerman's half of the book (I'm not a horse carver)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Zimmermen's chapters devoted to horse carving cover just about every aspect of that art. In fact, it's more than I want to know about it, since I'm not that interested in that subject. If you are, you'll be in heaven. But the other half of the book, Tangerman's, present a lot of diverse subjects, styles, examples and tips. It is NOT a 'how-to' book in the sense that it does not give the reader a project and a list of illustrated steps to complete the project. It's much more general in approach. So if you want such a step-by-step book, you should look elsewhere. But I always find Tangerman a great source of woodcarving wit and wisdom, and in this book has plenty of that.
