Thanks for posting that. The free book is fantastic. I have purchased several Netsuke Carvings. It is something I have wanted to try.

I really like TCP! The work there is amazing.

Janel and I are in the process of working out a step-by-step article (geared towards the beginner).

Thanks, Bullshipper.

I tried the process a couple of times. To be successful, you need to use a species of wood that is harder than Basswood. The imprints into bass tend to cut the wood fiber while it compresses the fiber in harder wood.
