Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Chip carving normally begins with an already finished object such as a wooden plate or a box, and incorporates carved-in geometric or free-form designs to create an individual work of art and craft. Barton introduces the reader to some of the most well-known carvers, both professional and those who simply pursue the craft out of love. Designs shown in 128 pages of full-color pictures and explanatory text include a basswood lamp base, elaborate box lids, plates, wooden trunks, wall plaques, clocks, and many everyday objects made extraordinary by the carving of well-known professionals and hobbyists--such things as hangers, a breadboard, and a wastebasket. The tools and techniques are explained early on for the uninitiated, and the finished works of the expert carvers are pictured to show readers some of the extraordinary possibilities of learning chip carving for themselves. --Mark A. Hetts

This review is from: The Art of Chip Carving: Award-Winning Designs (Paperback)
So many beautiful peices of art. You should buy it. My granddaddy, Mickey, made the peice on the cover and has his own section in the book with more of his work.
