This book has a two great step-by-step instructions. These will help set up the basic carving instructions for completing any pumpkin carving endeavor you decide to do. The Full page color illustrations of completed extreme carved pumpkins were Excellent, and very inspiring. However, the Black and white Illustrations meant to copy those pumpkins and then mark on your own pumpkin were absolutly worthless. You might as well print the color photo in Black and white to use that as your guide. It would be difficult for a beginner to use the templates that were given in the book when the step-by-step instructions didn't even bother to use them. Also, There is no glossary of terms in the book that would help with questions to let a beginner know what the author is trying to say. It did go thru a step-by-step way of carving a pumpkin with wood carving tools so..If you have those, then you probably have done some wood carving in the past and would understand the terms easily. I bought this book because I already had some woodcarving experience but wanted to better understand relief carving. Not to mention look at all those cool pumpkins. This book provided me with lots of ideas I used to carve my own pumpkins. I did amaze a lot of people with this unique over the top way of carving a pumpkin. As well as make charities a little money selling a few of them. In the summer you can try these same techniques on other things like watermelons to hone your skills.Read full review
