This book is for people who want to try carving decorations in a traditional marine design for their boat or house.  The types of carvings described are decorative but are confined to items that can be used - billetheads, trailboards, quarter boards, and stern decorations.  They are functional carvings that can dress up a boat or a home without being ostentatious.
