Default Great source for reference photos - Flickr

Flickr is a tremendous site for reference material and ideas. Probably the largest assortment of photographs on the net.

Say you are interested in classic European church carvings:

Flickr: The Church Furnishings Pool - almost 11,000 photos in that pool alone!

Totems:

Flickr: The Totems & Other Wood Carving Pool

Very easy to search for individual photos or groups (pools) that focus on one subject. One tip - if you see a photo you like, look on top of the photo for "all sizes" - many times you can download the photo in the original size. If this is not present - the photo is protected by the photographer. Please respect the rights of both the photographer and the artist who created the original work of art if that is the case...

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
