Friesen, Dick

Richard "Dick" Friesen has been carving and teaching for almost twenty years throughout the western United States. At the request of many of his students, he has finally taken the time to write a book on Beginning Gemstone Carving. This book is written with the beginning carver in mind, and covers both the skill set needed and the equipment necessary to take a piece from rough to finished stone, ready for setting. Dick is a Master Carver, and has designed carving equipment, tools, and DVDs which are currently sold through his business, Dick Friesen Custom Jewelry, and also by Diamond Pacific,
