I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT AND FOUND THEM ALL TO BE EITHER BORING OR TOO TECHNICAL. THIS BOOK WAS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE SUBJECT. IT IS INFORMATIVE IN A WAY THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WITH STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. YOU ARE INFORMED WHITCH WOODS THAT ARE MOST SUITABLE FOR WHAT KIND OF STICK THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE, AND WHAT WOOD TO AVOID. IT ALSO INCLUDES A DETAILED LIST OF TOOLS YOU MIGHT NEED TO FIRSTLY CUT YOUR SHANKS AND THEN TO MAKE THE FINISHED STICKS. NOT ONLY THAT BUT HOW TO USE THEM AND NOT DAMAGE THE FINISHED ARTICLE. ALSO THERE IS INFORMATION AS TO WHAT KIND OF HORN TO USE FOR WHAT KIND OF HANDLE AND HOW TO WORK IT. WITH HINTS AND TIPS ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND SEVERAL IN DEPTH DIAGRAMS AND PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE MATTER IN HAND. ALL IN ALL A MASTERPIECE IN WORDS VERRY SIMPLE TO FOLLOW EVEN FOR THE NOVICE LIKE ME. A GREAT LITTLE BOOK THAT DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN. BRILLIANTRead full review
