"Wood-Carving: Design and Workmanship" by George Jack is a technical handbook exploring the art of wood-carving, likely written in the early 20th century. The book aims to instruct both beginners and experienced artisans on woodworking techniques and design principles, while emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship in artistic expression. It discusses various aspects essential for wood-carving, including tools, design elements, and practical skills. The beginning of the work sets the stage for what readers can expect from the chapters ahead, focusing on the dual aspects of theory and practice in wood-carving. The author delves into the necessary foundation of knowledge that aspiring carvers should possess, highlighting the significance of understanding both the technical details of using tools and the underlying principles of design. The text emphasizes patience, practice, and the need for original thought in carving, blending technical instruction with a philosophical approach to creating meaningful and aesthetically pleasing work in wood.
