Excerpt from A Manual of Wood Carving
Finally, the author has endeavoured in these pages to treat wood carving not merely as a fine art, whose chief aim is to produce Specimens of fancy work for exhibitions, and facsimiles of flowers, never to be touched, but also to qualify the learner for a calling, and what nine-tenths of all practical wood-carving really consists of, that is, house and other large decoration, and of work which is to be perhaps painted, and exposed to the air. There is no reason why the artist should not be prepared to undertake figure-heads for ships, garden gates, cornices for roofs and rooms, dados, door panels, and Similar work, as well as mere drawing-room toys, which should have no finish save the delicate touch of the cutting tool.
