    Carving Gunstocks Using a Power Carver
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018*

Heavy with photos and reasonable descriptions, this book isn't big on pages but it is good to inspire.  The author uses a turbine carver but a Dremel, Foredom, or any other rotary tool can be used.  Turbines have less vibration and chatter that plagues most rotary systems that spin at slower rates, still it's doable.He covers the transfer of design to the stock using tacky mylar sheets that can be used in a printer, but tracing vellum with a low stick adhesive is serviceable if you are on a budget.  There are examples of his work in the back to help with a little inspiration.  Only thing not covered is how to price your work.The author is open to communication and is happy to answer questions.  Personally, I think he should write more books on the subject and on creating inlays that add panache to stocks and grips and possibly branch out into scrimshanding as well as engraving.I happily recommend this book to anyone looking to carve their stocks for personal use or professional vocation.

    A good book for all who is interested in carving gunstocks.
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020*

The book arrived on schedule, packaged well and pleased with the seller. It has great illustrations and guiding information on carving gunstocks. The book also covers pneumatic carving tools and burs that are available. You also learn what tool and bur is recommended for each step in the carvings along with many patterns. Just a great book.

    Power Is For The Power-Maddened...Keep To Your Gravers And Chisels For Ageless Results
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017*

Author Valencia's idea of 'power engraving' is apparently not to leave any material of a design ABOVE the surface of the original stock itself.  Though much more 'work' I admit,  taking the entire stock down at least half a mm (metric, for Jose's sake)  around the areas to be "power carved" will result in much more of a three dimensional look to the artwork when complete.  And will someone introduce the author/carver to some appropriate rifflers and MY semi-patented open-grit abrasive cloth dots and diamonds,  Barge cemented to the faces of various sizes and shapes of bandsaw'd O-rings  (high-durometer, fat-sectioned rings are better...always butyl rubber) so that he could sand out the ugly worm-tracks of his vibrating power bits?Jose,  only now, in the age of the mechanical engraver,  are we forced (mostly in speed-maddened industry I am happy to say)  to put a GUTTER all around the checking or the engraved pattern/figures,  to absorb hasty/sloppy overruns with the cutting gear.  I regret buying this 'work',  and had I seen the Schiffer imprint I would have avoided it altogether.  But still,  it might help some to get started,  and any author/artist getting paid for his work these days is a major triumph....I threw in a second star for those reasons.
