Carving 18th Century American Furniture Elements: 10 Step-by-Step Projects for Furniture Makers
Linden Publishing Inc, 2010.
$24.95; 102 pp.
Tony Kubalak has had many items published in the Readers Gallery section of Fine Woodworking magazine and he is quite the craftsman. He is also the author of Carving 18th Century American Furniture Elements (recently reviewed by Mark Schofield) which includes 10 step-by-step projects for period furniture makers. These projects range from a cabriole leg, to a ball and claw foot, to a flame finial, to convex and concave Newport shells. The book is also full of close up photos to help illustrate the details. I know that carving is no easy feat, but Kubalak’s book should give the aspiring period furniture maker a good push in the right direction.
Lucky ThreeJs is the winner. His comment was chosen at random.

A nice book to add to a woodworker's library.
I really enjoy building reproductions and this book would be a perfect addition.
Sounds like a cool book. I'm game.
If selected as the winner, it will be put to good use.

I always appreciate a new book for my woodworking library. One can never have too many resources for fine woodworking.
If this book would end up in my mailbox, it would go to my daughter. She is in college, but uses carving to relax and forget her studies for a moment.
I promised to build a hope chest for her, with her doing the carving on it.
Thanks for offering this to us.
Interested in 18th c restoration work in the future, so this would be an ideal addition to the library.
Looks like a great resource.
Thanks
I"WOOD" love to have a book like this. I would make good use of it and pass it on to another wood worker friend of mine to read and use as well.
Gratuitous post in hope of winning a book well beyond my current skill level - always nice to have something to aspire towards.
Yes, I would love to win a copy.
count me in!
Very cool looking book. Hope I win it.
I am working toward building period furniture. A long time reader of FW since 1976. Tony Kubaluk's book would help me learn the essentials to create 18 century furniture in grand style.
My comment haiku:
I would like to learn
Eighteenth century carving
And this book will help
Looks like a great book--I'd love to win it!
Count me in too please!

This looks great -- exactly the book I've been looking for.

would love to get this for my wife to help her with recovery from a stroke. (she used to carve before, now she doesn't remember how.)
Looks good from the cover. Would love to have a copy.
Great looking book, count me in, Thanks!
As a builder and lover of 18 century furniture, this looks like a great book to add to my collection.
A desirable skill for a builder of classic furniture.
I think this book should go to mcgtr555 even though this is a "contest". Just saying.
I am like most everyone else who has responded. Certainly I would like to win this book. Good luck to all.
It looks like this book would be just the assistance I need to make a ball and claw foot instead of buying the whole set of legs for the 18th century furniture I make. I would certainly enjoy a copy.
Great looking book.
