Practicing my drawing skills.

The Art of letter carving in stone by Tom Perkins.

This is a fantastic book, recommend to me by Richard Healy, sculptor & stone carver. It covers every aspect of letter carving, and is perfect for beginners like me. I just need to practice my drawing for a few months before I'm going to start carving.
