Description
From the archives of Woodcarving Illustrated magazine, this book presents 48 projects to create items that are as practical and functional as they are elegant.
Designed for beginner to intermediate-level chip carvers, the book begins by covering topics on materials and tools and then delves into pattern transfer, basic chip cuts, applying finishes, setting up a workspace and making a carver’s lapboard.
The projects are divided into four categories, hosting, dining, dressing and celebrating, and include a photo frame, a chess set, a coffee scoop, a cereal bowl, earrings, combs, a perpetual calendar and various holiday ornaments.
Color photos showing project steps and finished work, tool and supplies lists, plus full-size patterns are included for each project.
A straightforward guide for anyone looking to improve their chip carving skills or gain inspiration for their own designs.
Softcover, 8 1/2" × 11", 96 pages, 2021.
