Wood-Carving Design and Workmanship

Wood-Carving Design and Workmanship ($0.80), by George Jack, is optimized for the DX screen. The listing says the print price is $17.99, but that must be the paperback - the hardcover is selling for nearly $40.00.

Book Description
This is a text book on wood-carving design and workmanship. It provides practical instructions on the design, the basic skills and the production process of the art of wood carving. The book teaches the use and maintenance of carving tools, the knowledge of carving materials; the skills in dealing with different types of woods; the methods of carving; and the pattern collection and design. The book also teaches the process of turning an idea into a finished carving project with the practice of sketching, layout and carving skills. The book contains more than 90 graphic illustrations.
