What book is that? Oh, it is the rereleased printing of Wille Sundqvist’s “Swedish Carving Techniques”
For a few years now this fine book has become a sort of cult classic and being that this book was out of print the powers that be that did have it for sale were sure to put a hefty price tag on it. I have seen copies in various condition ranging anywhere from $150-$500…..yeah…..It pays to wait.
Finally about 8 months or so back this book by popular demand ...

I’m keeping track of my hours because I...
