I really liked this book, but I didn't give it 5 stars because there was a lot that could have been explained more fully. I think the authors assume that people reading it will have tried their hand at bird carving, because of the lack of explanations of items like the green epoxy putty used for the eyes. To a person just picking it up they would have no idea what that stuff is, not to mention where to get it. In order to make a good bird, the person reading the book really needs to have some considerable experience in carving.That said, I like the way my first hummingbird turned out.
I bought this book to help with a carving that someone has commissioned me to do. Tons of information in this book, even a section on making the vine and flower is included. Very thorough and complete.
As the title explains, the book is very detailing, above and beyond carving. I never expected so many additional steps in this book, such as wood burning and habitat. Maybe not for a beginner in carving, however if you want to learn this is the book to get about hummingbirds.
I really enjoyed this book . I started on a humming bird right away. it was easy to follow. thank you
