Clive,

Tony Erickson has a CD of his instructions to carve Gnome homes.  Within 
that CD, is a good section on Phi and how it works, etc.  Tony's website is:
http://www.woodakoodashooda.com

Page 3 of his photo links offers the chance to buy his CD for a very 
reasonable price.  I took a class with Tony and he is an excellent 
instructor and the CD was well worth it.  The section on Phi is good and 
very helpful in determining how to layout a carving with the proper 
sense of balance.

Happy carving!	Vic H
