Title: Chainsaw Carving: The Art & Craft by Hal Macintosh, Hal McIntosh ISBN: 1-56523-128-7 Publisher: Fox Chapel Publishing Pub. Date: January, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3
Rating: 1
Summary: Disappointing: NOT an instructional book!
Comment: Disregard the comments "until now there has been very little, if any, how-to information for beginners" or "Excellent resource for the beginner" noted in other reviews. They are WRONG! I am a beginner, and after reading this book cover to cover I don't think I am anything more than the same beginner I was when I started. Here's the breakdown of the book:
140 pages total. 60 pages are just color pictures of what I would classify as very advanced carvings and no info or details on how they were made. 28 pages are chainsaw facts, including 9 pages of color chainsaw pictures (no comments or advice on one model vs another, just lots of pictures of chainsaws...big deal). in the remaining 47 pages dedicated to "carving", there are only four actual projects. Of these four, just two have multiple pictures and step-by-step instructions.
For a beginner who is looking to learn this beautiful art, I estimate there about 30 pages of actual content you are interested in. Save your money and look for something else! That's exactly what I'm going to do right after I post this review.
