Customer Rating: Summary: Finally a book explaining the scary joy of power tools and carving. Comment: Finally a book that explains the art of power tool carving to create scary and entertaining pumpkin stories. You will never look at a cutsie pumpkin again without thinking about how it can be lit on fire. Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous Comment: This book has some great designs, but they are not for the beginner. The authors show you, step-by-step, how to carve two of the 20 patterns. One design is done in 86 steps using simple tools (pocket knife, finish nail, toothbrush, etc.) The other design is done in 39 steps using carving gouges. You will need thick-skinned pumpkins. Great book if you want to take your pumpkin carving to the next level. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Comment: We do an annual adult Pumpkin carving night and now with this book we will make them even more amazing! Customer Rating: Summary: very detailed, great tutorial Comment: This book is a great tutorial for carving a masterpiece. The pictures are very professional and every step of the process is documented. Only two carvings are shown in complete detail, but you won't be disappointed. The technique is defined in such a way that you should be able to take this idea and run with it using your own ideas. Lots of other pictures and ideas are given, just not in the detailed description as the first two. I'm very impressed. Customer Rating: Summary: EASY INSTRUCTIONS Comment: Was easy to follow the instructions, could be used for other media other than pumpkins. Pictures were great to see visual aid. Highly recommend for a carver.
