Hi Eddy

You might try a google search for "netsuke Tom Sterling".

If he is still overing his free ebook, you will may want to download it. It is something like 300 plus pages and very detailed.

Regards

Try sending a PM to willhayden33 or visit him at Will Hayden Wood Carving for everything Japanese. He might have some suggestions for you.

Hi EddyB,

You might also want to go to Janel's website, she's the TCP administrator, and check out the links. Awesome.
