Creating With Soapstone: Simple Techniques, Beautiful Projects

Rating:
Summary: missing basic information
Review: I have some excellent Lark books on ceramics, but this book was a disappointment. There is no almost no discussion of the potentially serious health hazards of working with soapstone (rock dust, asbestos) and how to minimize risks. The project directions are somewhat repetitive. A more indepth discussion of the geology and history of soapstone would have been interesting. Information on sources of carving stone and tools would have been useful.

Review: price reflects quality.... just doesn't make the mark.

Summary: First Time Carver!
Review: Well, after purchasing about 50 pounds of soapstone I thought to look for a book on the art of carving it to help me get started. This little book is packed with great info and ideas to help the "first time carver" with the basic how-to to get going. Good one to keep in your collection!
