Excerpt from The American Grainers' Hand-Book: A Popular and Practical Treatise on the Art of Imitating Colored and Fancy WoodsThe art OF imitating colored and fancy woods, taught IN twelve easy lessons, would be a taking caption to this introduction, and some credulous souls would certainly believe it true. We are sorry to dispel such simple and child like faith, but a regard for truth and common sense compels us to declare, that to reach the goal of success - in this, as in all other branches of the art of painting - one must travel the long road of patient study, close Observation, and practice, practice, practice. To imitate with colors, the veins and grains and figures in a piece of fancy wood, requires the same faculties, the same development of perceptive power, the same care and Skill and talent, as are required to portray the linea ments of the human face. Not in the same degree, perhaps, but in the same direction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
