5.0 out of 5 stars Information and Beauty wrapped into One.
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017
Verified Purchase
Visually - a Beautiful Book! And... it has a a ton of information that I thought clearly illustrated a full range of topics and projects. From the different types of Knife grips -(he shows 7 in the book), an eating spoon, spatula,cooking spoon, butter knife, coffee scoop, chopping board, serving board, and a small oak board. He then moves on to Finishing techniques such as faceting, scorching,ebonising and sanding- - how to make your own wood salve- tool care for the straight knife and crook knife and making a tool roll.
I found this book to be a great book to get you started or to add other projects to your to do list. I enjoyed reading about the different ways to finish your spoons - in particular the section on ebonising and scorching!
Sure you could google various techniques but to have the many projects and various ways you could add your creativity all in one book - was so worth it! I will be working my way through each project!
A side note on the actual physical book - the book has a good tactical feel- very nice weight to the paper - has an Art Book sensibility to the book design

5.0 out of 5 stars The best spoon book for hand crafters
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
We bought a few spoon books and others used lots of power tools. This book shows hand tools only. It's a lovely book and just what we wanted. US version is coming out in spring with a different name.

This is the exact same book as Heirloom Wood by the same author. Two different publishers though. Book is kind of an “oh gosh” light treatment of woodcarving.

It's okay. I mean, it's a how to book but it doesn't really teach anything new except for maybe the use of power tools in Green Woodworking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Identical to "Heirloom Wood" by the same author
Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2019
Verified Purchase
I am learning how to carve and so I purchased this book second after "Heirloom Wood". Which was very informative and a pleasure to read. I was so happy with that book that I decided to purchase "Urban Woodsman" by the same author thinking I was getting more info and design ideas. However, aside from the front cover image and reviews on the back cover, the contents of the two books are identical. Only buy one or the other as they are the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money, essential reading for carvers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a beautifully presented, good quality hardback, which is (at the moment) great value for money. Considering a lot of fairly slim paperback carving books are more than £10, it's a no-brainer.

I got this book because at a glance it looked nicely presented with some excellent photography (it's nice to have some detailed photos to go on) and I have started to get into spoon-carving, having been a carver for a few years now. I like the minimalism and simplicity of the projects demonstrated and the tools used, most of which I have already, some reviews have complained about this and the limitations, but I don't think you need in-depth instructions about spoons, though as noted more options on food-safe finishes would be ideal.

It doesn't end at the good projects, though. The parts of the book on different finishes, including ebonising, which I am particularly interested in, and sharpening techniques as well, are excellent and really useful, as are the lists of sources and websites at the back of the book. The author also goes into how and where he sources his wood and how to go about doing so by contacting the forestry commission, which most I know don't seem to do but this seems like a great way of cleanly sourcing wood that's otherwise just lying around in your local woods.

I haven't got stuck into any of these projects yet, but look forward to doing so soon, and to making up a pot of my own beeswax salve as well. To any wondering about alternative oils and finishes, I believe Tung oil is a recommended food safe one and you can get this by Liberon from the likes of Dockerill's. I would have thought linseed is perfectly fine as well but I don't know enough about the different types of linseed (raw, boiled, or purified) to confirm this or how well it fares when washed.

What a magnificent book this is. It displays a dozen of projects, showing them with step-by-step images. Price well worth the expense. Could give 6 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on wood carving
Reviewed in Australia on June 6, 2018

An excellent book on wood carving; the best I have seen. Max tells you all you need to know about wood carving and how to get started and make interesting things yourself. Also Amazon service was excellent. Ordered Thursday evening (late), delivered in next Tuesday's mail-hard to beat that!
