Even those who have never picked up a carving tool will quickly learn to create charming pieces with Halloween Woodcarving, written by professional carver and author Cyndi Joslyn. Clear, step-by-step instructions give readers everything they need to get started, including how to use and maintain basic carving tools such as gouges, knives, and chisels. Choosing the best wood for carving is covered, and beginners also learn how to easily transfer carving patterns and make basic woodcarving cuts.

Ten fun projects include a cat in pumpkins, mummy, ghost trick-or-treater, witch, beware sign, and other halloween ornaments.
