Wood Carving

[bonny]

Hi all,after going to the open day at Turners Retreat yesterday,i managed to return home with a set of carving chisels and a bench grinder for sharpening.

I have never done any carving but i know it does look right for me.

Can any of you learned folks recommend a good book for beginners with patterns,tips etc.

Thank You
