Sawtooth on the Arris
These figure prominently in New Mexican motifs and a chisel
is all that's required to carve them. Some are found along the
corner edges of chests or cabinets, while others are carved
into the board face.
To chip carve a sawtooth profile on the corner edge of a board,
lay out parallel lines on one face and one edge. Draw equally
spaced segments between the two lines and make a stop cut with
your chisel at the midway point between segments. Slice in toward
the stop cut from both endpoints of each segment, and make two
or more passes to achieve a clean cut. Simple!
