"The Art of Letter Carving in Stone" portrays the beauty of this
age-old craft alongside practical instruction. Written by an

basics of letter carving, drawn lettering and making simple
designs, and for the more experienced it explains a new
proportioning system for classical Roman capitals and demonstrates
a useful approach to designing letterform variations. Topics
covered include the development of twentieth-century letter
carving; detailed instruction for V-incising the key strokes of
letters; drawing a range of alphabets for use in letter carving;
making inscriptions, gilding and painting letters and finally,
designing headstones and plaques, house names and poetry texts.
This beautiful book illustrates a wide range of exciting and
creative pieces, and celebrates the inspiring work of contemporary
letter carvers.
