Best way to learn is to get stuck in, experience is the best tool you'll get and a book can't give you that. Swedish woodcarving is a good one, but you'd be surprised what you can dredge up on youtube.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

I've got 'the little book of whittling' it's ok rather than great, lots of little novelty projects and a little background and theory, from what I've heard the swedish techniques is a good bet and on my wish list.
