One of my favourites. Had a nice deluxe hardcover edition with the same stories. Wish I'd kept it.![]()
I read this book every December.
12 inches should definitely impressWe don't agree on everything, but she favors a ten-inch chef's knife. I wonder if I could impress her with my twelve inches of Russell Green River.

Sometime down the road give us a book review. I've considered the front one a couple of times.Asked my sister for these for Christmas (not the knife, just the books). She didn't know which one to get, so she ordered both!

I will. I've been flipping through both of them, and so far the main difficulty for me will be finding suitable wood to whittle. The book in back (Felix Immler's Whittling in the Wild) is almost literal in its title: it seems to be written under the assumption that the reader has access to acres of forest from which to harvest fallen dead wood of multiple sizes and species. It'll be challenging to find large enough pieces of hazel, yew, birch, etc. lying around in my carefully-managed neighborhood in the Houston suburbs.Sometime down the road give us a book review.
