520    "The carved embellishments found on eighteenth-century 
       American furniture pieces are what make them memorable 
       works of art. This book directs the serious student 
       through nine authentic elements from the colonial period. 
       Each chapter is devoted to one element and provides 
       pattern drawings, detailed instructions, and abundant 
       photographs of every step. Learn how to execute the entire
       process from sculpting the surface to layout, roughing in 
       the shapes and levels, and finally carving the details. 
       The selected projects are chosen from historically 
       important eighteenth-century furniture and adorned some of
       the best pieces ever made. Although the book tackles 
       advanced topics, the instruction is logical and complete 
       so that the serious reader, independent of skill, can 
       successfully work through the steps."--Amazon.com
