“There is a school of mathematical art that explores the frontiers of what is possible in a given space, and author Bjarne Jespersen is a master of this art.  In Woodcarving Magic, he will show you how to uncover the structure of space by looking inside pieces of wood and carving away anything that doesn’t match your vision.  With more than 25 designs for carving ‘tricky objects’ with connected parts that are loose, yet cannot be taken apart, you’ll learn to craft astonishing linked cages, knotted rings, and more.”
