   Wow! This looks like a great book. I first carved after reading an article in FW (Letter Carving Basics by T.J. McDermott. It was a sign for our office. It took me about 100 hours to complete. A book on carving will further improve my knowledge, and therefore, my skills.

   Any chance to add to my woodworking arsenal is good. I am a self taught woodworker, learning through books and magazines for the most part. Thanks for the chance to win the book. I can use all the help I can get in carving.

   My wife and I have been married for 50 years. Carving a love spoon would be a nice way to show my love--ClintB

   I have never carved before but I was looking at getting started. This looks like an excellent way to get started and I am sure that the wife would love it.

    I've recently started spoon carving with hewing hatchet, bent knives, and sloyd knife and would love to learn more about carving more detailed spoons like these. Thanks! —Kari

    I edit David Western's blog at:

    http://davidwestern.blogspot.com

    -- where you can follow David's step-by-step process on creating a spoon for the Left Coast Eisteddfod, a Welsh-American performing arts festival in Portland, Oregon in August 2009.

    David is an amazing artist, who takes each piece he makes seriously and with great care, and he's also a pretty nice guy who's happy to share what's he's learned and developed with other people. He's very happy to hear about other people trying their hand at lovespoons and likes to hear other people's successes.

    Dave does absolutely incredible carvings: we have been fans & admirers for many, many years.
    we even have one of his very early efforts, & one other more recent.

    I didn't even realize decorative spoons were a studied form. I just thought carving a spoon was one of the first projects a carver usually took on. I'm sure this would be an interesting read.
