Thumbs up Awesome Book!
  • Maybe somebody has already recommended this book, so if it's repeated, I
    apologize.
I bought this off of Ebay and it arrived yesterday. It's just what I've been looking for.My uncle used to refinish old carved furniture when I was a teenager and I loved the carvings on them and always wanted to learn how to do that sort of thing.So this book has it! It's an English book first published in1911 and reprinted in 1977, the one I bought.It shows how to get from A to B to Z! Wonderful designs and photos.So I thought I would share.Some of the pictures I took turned out blurry, sorry! So here's some highlights from the book.
