I’ve discovered a wonderful book which really helps me with my carving. It’s full of beautiful images just waiting to be transferred to wood and is called ‘Cusack’s Freehand Ornament’ by Charles Armstrong. Whilst being ancient it has been reprinted by a company called Forgotten Books. I got mine from Amazon for £9.99 and it’s worth every penny.

Oh Wow. I think I'm going to have to order this one. Thank you! What a wealth of design and technique! I think if I printed out the free one, it would probably cost more than ordering it just in paper and ink.
