Thanks. Just thought I'd mention that James F. Jackson, one of the premier carvers (and painters) in the business, recently developed a website showcasing some of his work. If your interested, check out jamesfjackson.com

awesome

Here are a few miniature bible covers i made. a guy was handing out those little free bibles on campus and i figured i could practice making little covers for em. one for my granny, one for my gf. hand stitching really gets old, even on something small. the other thing is just kinda a practice piece which i screwed the flow up on in a couple places (i need to plan more before i start carving), but decided to stamp it anyway for practice. when i got done i figured, what the heck, might as well stain it! id really like to know how to dye the edges on things. i dont know what contraption is necessary for a nice edge.

absolutely beautiful. its the kind of thing that is fun to look at over and over again. a great study reference as well. by the way... would you mind briefly describing how it is you go about lettering?

Thank you all for your responses.

recently got into stamping/carving... these are my first checkbook covers...
