CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
don't judge a book by it's cover,how true! -
Very disappointed that this book did not have a actual gourd that was pictured on the cover "inside" the book! What a disappointment. I purchased this book for the eagle that was pictured on the cover. There was no pattern for such project.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Creative Inspiration -
Excellent stimulation to be creative. Illustrated techniques provide creative ideas for all level of gourders.
Not a good one -
I was very disapointed by this book. I have been working with pyrography & gourds for many many years now, & always look for a technique I might like better than what I am using. I wish I had seen the reviews first before buying, I am VERY sorry I bought this & will hold my other thoughts to myself. I DO recommend an excellent book for wood burning, PYROGRAPHY WORKBOOK: A Complete Guide to the Art of Woodburning, by SUE WALTERS. For growing gourds: GOURDS IN YOUR GARDEN, by Ginger Summit. For many beautiful techniques to enhance your gourd art: THE DECORATED GOURD: Beautiful Projects & New Techniques, by Dyan Mai Peterson.
NOT REALLY WHAT I WANTED OR NEEDED -
I have been working with gourds for quite a few years now, something like over thirty. There was very little in this work I found to be useful. I am sorry to say I agree fully with another reviewer here who was less delighted with this particular work that probably I am. I did give it two stars simply for effort though. I strongly suggest you search further as there are quite a large number of books out there that are of better quality and certainly more worth the money spent.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
A bit too basic -
I have Sue Waters newer book which is done very well. I was very disappointed when I got this, her older book, to discover that the projects were very amaturish. There was not much substance to the book for the price so therefore I will be returning the book to Amazon (alas this is the price you pay for buying a book when you cannot see the contents).
