Bob Hershey, Award-Winning Carver, Member of Caricature Carving of America
The longer I'm involved with carving and teaching carving the more convinced I am that a great number of people are working with dull tools. Lora Irish has provided a great guide to learning the fundamentals of hand sharpening. Sharp tools are essential to a pleasant and successful carving experience. With Lora's easy-to-follow instructions and enough practice, anyone should be able to vastly improve their sharpening skills.

Tom Hindes, Best-Selling Author of 20-Minute Whittling Projects and Whittling in Your Free Time
The main reason beginners abandon woodcarving is the inability to keep their tools sharp. This publication will go a long way in removing that problem.

Midwest Book Review
Thoroughly 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, "Sharpening Carving Tools for Beginners: Learn to Keep Your Knives, Gouges & V-Tools in Tip-Top Shape" is essential and invaluable reading for all novice wood workers -- making it an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community woodworking and wood crafting instructional reference collections and school wood shop class curriculums.
