CHIP CARVING: DESIGN & PATTERN

Chip carving offers so many choices - and this bounty of patterns was specifically chosen to provide carvers with experience in many styles, including lettering, signs, geometrics designs, positive-image, and free-form work.

The projects feature more than 125 different ornamental plates, boxes, wall plaques, cabinets, chair backs, house numbers, lamp bases, lap desks, and other creations.

New to this edition: a lettering chart for readers to trace and then carve.

To make things even easier, you use only the two most readily available knife blades (W.B. Premier No. 1 and No. 2) and the most versatile, workable woods (basswood and butternut).

Authored by Wayne Barton, who’s name has become synonymous with chip carving.
