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).

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Woodcarving is one of the more diverse areas of woodworking, and these titles show some of the possibilities. Barton needs no introduction, as he is among the best-known carvers in the world. In Chip Carving, he offers numerous patterns as well as brief advice about technique, sharpening, wood selection, and more. His skill is astonishing it appears that he can apply outstanding carvings to any surface. Burton's Architectural Carving is even better; an experienced architectural carver, he shows his craft in a step-by-step manner, explaining tool use, wood choices, and different styles of carving. This title stands out because of its great section on tool use. Burton offers a wealth of both traditional and innovative information; for example, he employs inexpensive pneumatic chisels, which are most frequently used by auto mechanics a great technique that this reviewer has never seen anywhere else. The techniques revealed here could be used by most woodcarvers, not just those interested in architectural carving. Burton's title is among the best on the subject and is essential for all woodcraft collections; Barton's, an excellent book of its type, should be considered for more comprehensive collections.
