Learn the art of chip carving, a traditional woodcarving technique that uses knives to remove selected "chips" of wood from a single piece. This guide introduces you to the tools and techniques needed to replicate this ancient craft, with detailed guidance on wood, tools, and sharpening. You'll also discover tips on how to hold chip carving knives and master the three main types of chip carving. The book takes you through seven projects, including a napkin holder, a plant box, a letter holder, a trinket box, a tissue box holder, and a cheese and cracker tray. A photo gallery of finished pieces provides inspiration for novice woodworkers. With clear instructions and guidance, you'll be able to create beautiful decorative items using chip carving techniques. Paperback, 105 pages.
